Answer:

It is readily digested by phagocytes.

Explanation:

Virulence factors are protein and sugar molecules found on bacterial and viral surface that help them to gain entry and spread in host's body. They help to evade the immune reaction by the host and help in colonization in host's body.

One such virulence factor is M protein which is found on the surface of many species of Streptococcus, notably <em>Streptococcus pyogenes</em>. It is strongly anti-phagocytic i.e. phagocytes are not able to digest it. It evades phagocytosis by binding to fibrinogen found in host's serum. A structure is formed which inhibits the host's complement system to bind to the peptidoglycan cell wall of bacteria ultimately avoiding phagocytosis. Hence, M protein is readily digested by phagocytes is a false statement.

Answer;

-Gametic Isolation

Explanation;

-Gametic isolation is a type of prezygotic barrier where the gametes (egg and sperm) come into contact, but no fertilization takes place.

-In Gametic isolation is when sperm of one species may not be able to fertilize the eggs of another species. For instance, sperm may not be able to survive in the reproductive tract of females of the other species, or biochemical mechanisms may prevent the sperm from penetrating the membrane surrounding the other species' eggs.
