I'm pretty sure your answer is correct :)
Answers: examples of host defence mechanism include: Innate anatomical and physiological barriers, Innate cellular and chemical defenses.
Explanation:
The capability of the human body to resist almost all types of organisms or toxins that tend to damage the tissues and organs is known as IMMUNITY. This host defence mechanism can be classified into INNATE or adaptive immunity.
The immunity that results from general processes, rather than from processes directed at specific disease organisms is called the INNATE IMMUNITY. The anatomical and physiological barriers of the innate immunity provides the first line of defence against pathogens. Examples of these barriers of the innate immunity includes:
--> Destruction of swallowed organisms by the low stomach pH and digestive enzymes
--> The vigorous mucociliary clearance mechanisms of the respiratory airways and lungs.
--> Resistance of the skin to invasion by organisms
While examples of innate cellular and chemical defenses include:
--> Phagocytosis of bacteria and other invaders by white blood cells and cells of the tissue macrophage System
--> lysozymes, a mucolytic polysaccharide that attacks bacteria and cause them to dissolute.
--> basic polypeptides which react and inactivate certain types of gram- positive bacteria
-->natural killer lymphocytes that can recognize and destroy foreign and tumor cells.
Bacteriophage doesn't have a nucleus.
Option C.
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
Bacteriophage is a virus that is present in our surroundings. Its a phage virus that attacks bacteria and killing it. Bacteriophage has a tadpole like structure with a polygonal head and a neck and 6 tails. The polygonal head is formed of carbohydrates, along with the neck and tails. The head has inside it DNA that is its nucleic acid and genetic material. It's not enclosed in any nucleus. It has some proteins inside the head too.
The phage virus attaches itself with bacteria and drills the bacterial cell wall by the neck and pushes the genetic material inside as a mode of infection.
