<h2>Vasa recta </h2>

Explanation:

The vasa recta is a specialized capillary that branches from the efferent arteriole; The blood flow in the vasa recta runs parallel, but in the opposite direction to the flow of tubular filtrate within the nephron loop

  • The vasa recta capillaries are long, hairpin-shaped blood vessels that run parallel to the loops of Henle
  • The hairpin turns slow the rate of blood flow, which helps maintain the osmotic gradient required for water reabsorption
  • Absorbed water is returned to the circulatory system via the vasa recta, which surrounds the tips of the loops of Henle
  • Because the blood flow through these capillaries is very slow, any solutes that are reabsorbed into the bloodstream have time to diffuse back into the interstitial fluid, which maintains the solute concentration gradient in the medulla; this passive process is known as counter-current exchange

<h3>What is smallpox?</h3>

Variola major or Variola minor are the two virus strains that cause the contagious sickness known as smallpox. The variola virus (VARV) agent is a member of the genus Orthopoxvirus. The World Health Organization confirmed the illness's universal eradication in 1980 after the last naturally occurring case was diagnosed in October 1977, making polio the only human disease to have achieved this feat.

Fever and vomiting were among the disease's earliest signs. This was followed by the development of mouth ulcers and a rash. The skin rash developed into the typical fluid-filled blisters with a dimple in the middle over a period of days. The scars were left after the lumps scabbed over and dropped off. People could contract the illness from contaminated things or from one another. Prevention is through the vaccine for smallpox.

What is a reproductive strategy
Bumek [7]
A reproductive strategy presents an approach of a type of an organism to reproduction and of taking care of it's offspring.  

Generaly speaking, there are two main reproductive strategies, K and R reproductive strategies.

The organisms that apply the R strategy produce a great number of small, independent offspring and when the offspring is born or hatched it's left to
try to survive on its own. This strategy is used by bacteria, many invertebrates, and reptiles.

On the other hand, the K strategy organisms produce a small number of offspring that they care of for a significant amount of time after they are born. This strategy is used mostly by mammals and birds.

Regarding cladistics
leonid [27]

Answer:

Option C, cladistics reveals relative evolutionary branching by utilizing genetic analysis

Explanation:

Cladistics classification is a way of classifying organisms biologically in a way that a relationship between their shared traits could be established which leads to identification of closely related organism and species. It further helps to identify ancestry history of closely related species to identify closely related common ancestors and the evolution of various characteristics.

Basically in  Cladistics  study, species are arranged on a phylogenetic tree based on the time of their emergence from any other group.

Hence, option C is correct.
