Answer: ENDOTOXIN

Explanation: Meningitis is a nervous system disorder that occurs when there is an infection and inflammation of the meninges,these meninges are the membranes that cover the brain and the spinal cord,they are the pia mater, dura mater,and the arachnoid mater.

This infection and inflammation of the meninges is causes by inversion of microorganism, bacteria precisely,when these bacteria that are gram negative invade the meninges,the cell wall of the bacteria dies off exposing the cellular contents, this exposure introduces a toxin known as LIPOPOLYSACCHARIDE directly in to the meninges which disrupts the normal functioning of the meninges, infection further sets in and inflammation is triggered as well.

Explanation:

Organisms exhibit various levels of organization of the body. It includes cellular level, tissue level, organ level, organ system level of organization. The unicellular organisms have single cells as their bodies and therefore do not have the genes that regulate the various parts of the body rather than the individual cells. Prokaryotic are unicellular organisms only and do not have multiple cells in their bodies. Therefore, the mentioned genes are the regulatory genes that coordinate the functioning of various parts of the body of a multicellular organism. For instance, the genes involved in regulation of blood glucose levels.
