Answer:

Hello!

The answer is A. Analysis of DNA sequences

Explanation:

Classification:

Classification is the assortment or arrangement of living organisms into groups on the basis of their similarities. These groups into which organisms are classified are called taxonomic groups or taxon.

  • Before the 1960s, scientists solely relied on phenotypic or physical characteristics of organisms to classify them into related taxonomic groups.
  • Modern DNA sequencing methods are capable of revealing similarities and differences between organisms on the level of genes or DNA sequences. Therefore, DNA sequence analysis is the most accurate method for classification.
  • Closely related organisms have specific genes with the same DNA sequence. These sequences, known as conserved sequences, can be found universally in all species of a particular organism. For example, in bacteria, a DNA sequence known as the 16s RNA is conserved in related species. 16s RNA analysis is widely used to identify and classify bacteria.
  • Behaviors, body structure, habitat and food choices are all phenotypic characters that do not provide definite evidence of evolutionary relationship.
  • Different species can have the same habitat, behavior, anatomy and morphology.

swat32

Answer: The correct option is D (Antimicrobials).

Explanation:

Antimicrobial treatment is defined as therapies that are given to patients to either inhibit or kill the growth of microorganisms IN their body cells. The antimicrobial treatment can be grouped into two based on their mechanism of action. These includes:

--> Microbiocidal therapy: This type of treatment when given, kills the microorganisms in the cells of the patient.

--> Microbiostatic therapy: This type of treatment aims at inhibiting the growth of microorganisms when administered to a patient.

The antimicrobial drugs achieve their role usually through their different modes of action which includes:

--> cell wall inhibition

--> inhibition of cell membrane function

--> protein and nucleic acid synthesis inhibition.

Disinfects, antiseptic and sterilisation are all different ways of eliminating microorganisms but not used as invitro (within) treatment for patients. Therefore the term that best matches the description given is antimicrobials.

The ability of your body's immune system to distinguish between your cells
KatRina [158]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is cell surface markers.</em>

Explanation:

The immune cells of our body detect foreign particles and generate responses so that our body can get rid of them. The foreign particles are often termed as antigens.

The immune cells such as antibodies possess cell surface receptors which detect the foreign objects or antigens. When the cell surface receptors detect any antigen they immediately recognize that a foreign particle has invaded the body and they then identify it and start to generate response.
