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.

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

A particular population limiting factor or factors must have been removed

Explanation:

The population of the birds must have been kept between 30 and 50 individuals by population limiting factors such as the presence of predators within the community or competition for resources such as food or spaces.

For the population to shoot up to 90 all of a sudden, it may be that one or more of the population limiting factors has been removed from the population. <u>It could be that a major predator has been removed from the community or the competition for food/space is now significantly reduced due to more food/space in the community. </u>
