A division of your immune system called cell mediated immunity is charged with stopping viral infections. The main actors of that are called cytotoxic T cells who, when they encounter a cell that is displaying viral antigens on its surface, binds to the cell and releases toxic substances called perforins and granzymes that destroy and digest the viral infected cell.
Answer:
The correct answer is "Transgenics".
Explanation:
The missing options of this question are:
A. Artificial selection
B. Transgenics
C. Bioreaction
D. Recombination
The correct answer is option B. "Transgenics"
Transgenics is a term used to describe the artificial insertion of one or more DNA sequences to an organism that would normally not have it. In this example, the term transgenics applies to the cows that serve as hosts for the production of the spider silk. The process transgenics is what gives the name to terms such as "transgenic food", "transgenic plants" or "transgenic animals".
Answer:
Acid rain also known as acid deposition can come in any form of precipitation. It is basically precipitation with acidic components, such as sulfuric or nitric acid. It can come from sulfur or coal fumes.
It can be destructive to the ecosystem. Most animals aren't immune to the low pH levels and get harmed or die from it. The animals/plants that are immune suffer greatly by loss of food. You will most likely see dead plants and trees from the areas that have acid rain.

Answer:
Natural selection is a concept described by Charles Darwin as a basic and fundamental mechanism of the theory of evolution. The term was introduced in his popular book, "On The Origin of Species," in 1859. Natural selection describes the process by which advantageous traits that allow for better adaptation within an animal population become more common over generations, thus changing the genetic composition of that population. Natural selection is evident in humans as well as many animal species.

Answer:
In Microbial Metabolism, we discussed three classes of macromolecules: proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates. In this chapter, we will discuss a fourth class of macromolecules: nucleic acids. Like other macromolecules, nucleic acids are composed of monomers, called nucleotides, which are polymerized to form large strands. Each nucleic acid strand contains certain nucleotides that appear in a certain order within the strand, called its base sequence. The base sequence of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is responsible for carrying and retaining the hereditary information in a cell. In Mechanisms of Microbial Genetics, we will discuss in detail the ways in which DNA uses its own base sequence to direct its own synthesis, as well as the synthesis of RNA and proteins, which, in turn, gives rise to products with diverse structure and function. In this section, we will discuss the basic structure and function of DNA.
DNA Nucleotides
The building blocks of nucleic acids are nucleotides. Nucleotides that compose DNA are called deoxyribonucleotides. The three components of a deoxyribonucleotide are a five-carbon sugar called deoxyribose, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base, a nitrogen-containing ring structure that is responsible for complementary base pairing between nucleic acid strands (Figure 22.2.1 ). The carbon atoms of the five-carbon deoxyribose are numbered 1ʹ, 2ʹ, 3ʹ, 4ʹ, and 5ʹ (1ʹ is read as “one prime”). A nucleoside comprises the five-carbon sugar and nitrogenous base.
