Answer: adaptive immune response

Explanation:

Autoimmune disorders are caused by different microoorganism and drug which manipulates the immune system in a way that immune system become unable to recognise between self antigen and foreign antigen. In that case immune system treats foreign antigen as self antigen which cause systemic or organ specific damage.

The exact cause of autoimmune disorders is unknown and hence it is  thought that it is caused by adaptive immune response which builds against self antigens and causes damage to the cells.

Hence, some autoimmune disorders are thought to be caused by adaptive immune response.

bekas [8.4K]

DNA evidence and the fossil record indicate are the ancestors of the living cetaceans were land-dwelling mammals. DNA evidence allows to trace the evolutionary origin of taxonomic groups.

DNA evidence refers to the linear order of nucleotides, which can be used to trace the evolutionary origin of a particular taxonomic group.

When the linear order of DNA nucleotides is conserved, it is known as sequence homology.

Fossils are preserved remains of organisms that once lived on the Earth, which can also be used as evidence to trace the evolutionary origin of a given group.
