<h2>Collagen genes is the best choice</h2>

Explanation:

Collagen is the most abundant protein in mammals

  • Collagen is found in bones,muscles,tendons and skin
  • It is the one which holds the body together
  • It strengthen and support many tissues in the body
  • Collagen genes encode many types of collagen which have a structural role in the extracellular matrix and has a great tensile strength
  • At least 26 different collagen polypeptide chains are present which are encoded by 26 unique collagen genes
  • Since collagen is the main protein of connective tissue in animals and is considered as the most abundant protein in mammals it can be the best choice to base the phylogeny
  • Rest all options are specific for a particular function in particular animals

(Ch. 27.4) Many people are allergic to substances in the environment, such as ragweed pollen, as well as foods, such as peanuts.

Answer:

C. The substance does not directly harm tissues and is not a pathogen, but nevertheless triggers an inflammatory response.

Explanation:

When a person is allergic to a substance, his or her immune system recognizes a harmless substance, such as components in food, pollen, or dust, as a treat. As a consequence, it starts an immune response that leads to inflammation. The substance that starts the allergic reaction is called an allergen, and it is not a pathogen because it is not a real threat to the body since it does not infect cells. When the allergen enters the body, it binds to antibodies that are in contact with a special type of cell. These specific cells will release a substance known as histamine. Histamine will produce an inflammatory reaction affecting different tissues in our body. For example, it can make us sneeze, have a running nose, swelling parts of our body, have itchiness and redness, amongst others.
