Answer:

e. It will be readily phagocytized upon entering the host

Explanation:

<em>Streptococcus pneumoniae</em> is a Gram-positive bacteria of the genus Streptococcus, being this pathogen known to produce respiratory tract infections and one of the most important causes of meningitis and pneumonia. The capsular polysaccharide of <em>S. pneumoniae </em>is required for its virulence. Based on capsule virulence factors, <em>S. pneumoniae</em> can be classified into 90 distinct serotypes, but only a few serotypes are able to produce serious diseases. The virulence factors localized in the capsule include invasins and adhesins, which act as antiphagocytic and immunogenic factors, respectively.

Answer:

4 1/4

Explanation:

17/4 = 4/4 + 4/4 + 4/4 + 4/4 + 1/4

4 + 4 = 8

4 + 4 = 8

8+8=16 = 16/4

16/4 + the 1/4 remaining in the equation = 17/4

so 4/4 + 4/4 + 4/4 + 4/4 = 4

4 + 1/4 = 4 1/4

sorry if you couldnt follow along. I am not good at explaining things but the answer is 4 1/4

tekilochka [14]
This is an example of microevolution.

Microevolution
represents a small change in the genetic structure of the population. These changes manifest through the change in the allele frequencies of genes like in the case of dung beetles.
The causes of microevolution are evolutionary mechanisms, natural selection, genetic drift, mutations and gene flow.
