The sporophyte generation produces spores that grow into a GAMETOPHYTE.
Transposable elements are considered to be responsible for vast range of genome diversity and gene silencing.
Explanation:
Transposable elements are short sequences of DNA that have the ability to move from one location to another in the genome. During this process they copy themselves.
The entire process carried out by transposable elements to copy themselves and move from one location to another is called transposition.
Transposition may result in mutation and is potentially a major source of genome diversity and change. If a transposon inserts itself into the coding region of a gene,it interrupts the coding sequence and inactivates the gene expression.
In addition to this, a transposable element may contain transcription or translation termination signal that will block the gene expression downstream of insertion site.
Answer:
C. The substance does not directly harm tissues and is not a pathogen, but nevertheless triggers an inflammatory response.
Explanation:
When a person is allergic to a substance, his or her immune system recognizes a harmless substance, such as components in food, pollen, or dust, as a treat. As a consequence, it starts an immune response that leads to inflammation. The substance that starts the allergic reaction is called an allergen, and it is not a pathogen because it is not a real threat to the body since it does not infect cells. When the allergen enters the body, it binds to antibodies that are in contact with a special type of cell. These specific cells will release a substance known as histamine. Histamine will produce an inflammatory reaction affecting different tissues in our body. For example, it can make us sneeze, have a running nose, swelling parts of our body, have itchiness and redness, amongst others.
Usually enzyme inhibitors slow down the enzymes activity, so in this case, I would put D.
