g Type I diabetes is caused by destruction of the beta cells of the pancreas, the cells that produce insulin. In most cases, the

beta cells are destroyed by an immune response. Both genetic and environmental factors are involved in triggering the immune response. A. The immune system usually does NOT destroy the beta cells. If the cells are destroyed, it is a failure of (memory) (specificity)(tolerance) (any one of these) (none of these).

Answer:

it is a failure of tolerance (self-tolerance) and specificity (recognition)

Explanation:

Type 1 diabetes is a chronic disease caused by the selective destruction of β cells that are involved in the production of insulin in the pancreas. Type 1 diabetes can be classified into two types: Type 1A diabetes (the immune form of the disease) and Type 1B diabetes (the non-immune form of the disease). Type 1A diabetes is considered an autoimmune disorder where immune responses against pathogens suffer a failure of tolerance to antigens in the β-cells of the pancreatic islets. Thus, Type 1A diabetes is characterized by the process of recognition of β-cell antigens (autoantigens) by the immune system. This disease is often caused by genetic factors associated with mutations in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II region located on chromosome 6.

Why is it protective for the crayfish to have its nerve cord on the bottom of its body?
mr Goodwill [35]
The crayfish have its nerve cord on the ventral side rather than on the dorsal side. The ventral side is under the Crayfishes' exoskeleton, as opposed to the dorsal side where the exoskeleton is . If it is attacked it will be from the dorsal side and the nerve cord would be snapped easier. The function of the nerve cord is that if it gets attacked by a predator they will go for the top and it will still be able to move.
