While hiking, you must push aside thick branches that are near your face. One of them rips the skin on your arm and you begin to
matrenka [14]

Answer:

While hiking, you must push aside thick branches that are near your face. One of them rips the skin on your arm and you begin to bleed from the cut. Which of the following plays an important role in initially protecting you from infection?

The answer to the question is option D (barriers such as dead skin cells and mucus because they are part of the innate immune system)

Explanation:

Hiking which is a way to stay physically active can simply be explained as an engage in a leisure-like activity, to walk a long distance or for exercise.

Innate immunity is one of the two main immunity strategies found in vertebrates, is composed of physical, chemical and cellular defenses against pathogens,  such as skin, chemicals in the blood, and immune system cells that attack foreign cells in the body immediately or within hours of an antigen's appearance in the body.

The innate immune system relies on the recognition of particular types of molecules that are common to many pathogens but are absent in the host.

Innate immunity, is something already present in the body which is activated against a specific type of antigen, and the immunity remains throughout the life.

An example of Innate immunity, is the white blood cells fighting bacteria.

Innate Immunity action is usually rapid, and the first line of defense against non-self pathogens is the innate immune response.

Innate type of immunity is generally inherited from parents and passed to offspring.

The main purpose of the innate immune response is to immediately prevent the spread and movement of foreign pathogens throughout the body.

Therefore, during the first critical hours and days of exposure to a new pathogen, the body rely on the innate immune system to protect it from infection.

The skin and other epithelial surfaces, provide a physical barrier between the inside of the body and the outside world.

The mucus layer also contains substances that kill pathogens or inhibit their growth.

Microorganisms do occasionally breach the epithelial barricades. It is then the innate immune system that recognizes and destroy them, without harming the host.

Babies with very low or very high birth weight are less likely to survive. The graph shows the percentage of babies born at
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

The information provided clearly shows that the babies with average weights form a stable selection, the average is favoured.

Stabilizing selection is occurring because the average is favored.

Explanation:

Concluding Part of the question

A graph entitled Percentage of Babies born at Different Weights has weight in pounds on the horizontal axis, and percentage on the vertical axis. A small percentage of babies are born at the low and higher birth weights, and a greater amount are around 7 to 8 pounds.

Which statement is a valid claim that could be made using the data in the graph?

A) Directional selection is occurring because the graph favors an extreme.

B) Disruptive selection is occurring because the two extremes are favored.

C) Stabilizing selection is occurring because the average is favored.

D) Biodiversity variation is occurring because there is an increase in trait variation.

Explanation

Stabilizing selection represents a form of natural selection where the intermediate variants of a trait, that is the non-extreme trait values are the ones that ensure the survival and subsequent formation of stable population of the species with this average traits.

In this question, it is given through the data from the graph that babies with very low or very high weights are less likely to survive.

And it is logical as very low weight babies are most likely to be very weak, fragile and susceptible to being on the wrong side of natural selection and very high weight babies have all sorts of overweight issues plus the fact that they have to literally be squeezed out of the womb through a very narrow canal, really pushing their oversight bodies to its limits very early making them also susceptible to being on the wrong side of natural selection.

The average weight babies on the other hand do not experience any of the issues discussed in the last paragraph, they are usually healthy and thus have a high survival rate. So, it is evident to see that the population of babies stabilizes based on a particular non-extreme trait value (baby weight) through stabilizing selection.

Hope this Helps!!!

One of the two major systems that are affected by the stress response is the ____________, which results in increased production
Marizza181 [45]
The two major systems involved in the stress response are the Nervous System [the Sympathetic subdivision of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)] and the Endocrine System (glands which secrete hormones intonthe bloodstream).
The Endocrine System's response during acute and/or chronic stress (adaptation) involves first the Hypothalamic release of Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone (CRH), which stimulates the Anterior Pituitary (via the blood) to release AdrenoCorticoTropic Hormone (ACTH), which then activates the Adrenal Cortex to release glucocorticoid hormones (i.e. Cortisol), amongst others into the bloodstream. Cortisol then has many effects on tissues and organs throughout the body to allow better generalized coping with the initial stress stimulus.
