In rheumatoid Arthritis patients, NK cell levels were abnormally elevated, possibly due to high serum levels of IL-2.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), is an autoimmune disease that means our own immune system attacks self healthy cells in the body by mistake, causing inflammation (painful swelling),mainly attacks the joints.
The given study is to investigate the relationship between serum interleukin-2 (IL-2) levels and disease activity.
This study also showed the relationship between absolute numbers of peripheral lymphocyte subsets, autoantibodies, and associated cytokines in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
The results showed that the number and percentage of NK cells were positively correlated with serum IL-2 levels so, IL-2 can be a reason for elevated level of NK cells

Plants absorb me from the soil through assimilation, I am eaten by animals the animals and plants die and decompose where I am released back into the soil, weathering and erosion cause me to release out of rocks, I then find my way into the ocean being carried by water, I then return to the soil through the water.
Answer:
1st blank: motion // 2nd blank: motion
Explanation:
The right answer is C.
Meiosis and fertilization contribute to the stability of the species.
Meiosis ensures the passage of the diploid phase to the haploid phase. It follows a phase of DNA replication and consists of two successive divisions, the second is not preceded by a duplication of DNA. These two divisions lead, from a diploid mother cell (2n chromosomes), to four haploid daughter cells, the gametes (n chromosomes).
Meiosis and fertilization are at the origin of genetic mixing.
During meiosis, intra- and interchromosomal mixing occurs (inducing a genetic diversity between the daughter cells, and they are systematically different from their mother cell).
*Intrachromosomal mixing, or crossing-over recombination, takes place between paired homologous chromosomes during the prophase of the first meiosis division;
*Interchromosomal mixing is due to the independent migration of the homologous chromosomes of each pair during anaphase of the first division. It therefore concerns chromosomes reworked by the intrachromosomal mixing that preceded it.
Answer:
solid
Explanation:
Matter in solid state have the highest density, with the molecules tightly packed together.
