The skin is an example of a non-specific defense.
For example, bacteria or diseases have trouble entering a healthy person's skin because it is formed by closely packed cells with multiple layers and a substance called keratin that protects is.
On the other hand, the immune system is a specific defense mechanism.
When bacteria is able to enter the body in cases of fever for example, the immune system is activate and sends out protector cells such as the white blood cells to combat infection.
The correct answer is Mitosis.
The mitosis is a type of cell division, in which the parent cell produces a similar type of daughter cell. The daughter cells, which are formed by the process of the mitosis would have the same number of the chromosomes and the ploidy of the daughter cells would also be same as the parents. In the sexual reproduction, the process of meiosis result in the formation of haploid cells during the process of gamete formation. Hence, meiosis, sexual reproduction, and gamete formation are incorrect answers.
