What differences between physical and chemical barriers​

Biology
2 answers:

Answer:

Mechanical barriers — which include the skin , mucous membranes , and fluids such as tears and urine — physically block pathogens from entering the body. Chemical barriers — such as enzymes in sweat , saliva , and semen — kill pathogens on body surfaces.

Answer:

The immune system comprises both innate and adaptive immune responses. Innate immunity occurs naturally due to genetic factors or physiology. It is not induced by infection or vaccination but is constantly available to reduce the workload for the adaptive immune response. The adaptive immune response expands over time, storing information about past infections and mounting pathogen-specific defenses. Both the innate and adaptive levels of the immune response involve secreted proteins, receptor-mediated signaling, and intricate cell-to-cell communication.

Explanation:

The skin, or epithelial surface, serves as the primary barrier to microbial entry into the body; skin peeling, drying out, and the skin’s acidity all serve to dislodge or kill foreign pathogens.

Orifices such as the eyes and mouth, which are not covered by skin, have other mechanisms by which they prevent entry; tears wash away microbes, while cilia in the nasal passages and respiratory tract push mucus (which traps pathogens) out of the body.

Many chemical barriers also exist once pathogens make it past the outer physical barriers; the acidity of the stomach ensures that few organisms arriving with food survive the digestive system.

Hope this helps!

IrinaVladis [17]

Complete question:

If the recessive allele for cystic fibrosis is represented as c, classify the following genotypes as homozygous dominant, homozygous recessive, or carriers: CC,Cc, and cc. State which one has the phenotype of cystic fibrosis.

Answer:

CC - homozygous dominant

cc - homozygous recessive

Cc - carriers

cc will have the phenotype

Explanation:

Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder that affects the production of mucus in the body, primarily affecting the lungs and digestive system.

Because it is autosomal recessive, an affected individual needs to inherit 2 copies of the faulty gene. The presence of just one normal copy of the gene is sufficient not to cause the disease

In genetics, the dominant allele is usually displayed as a capital letter and the recessive as a small letter. Homozygous means someone has 2 copies of the same allele, heterozygous means they have different alleles. Therefore, CC - homozygous dominant, cc - homozygous recessive, and Cc - carriers. Only those with a cc genotype will be affected, as the presence of one dominant allele is enough to block the phenotype

DNA replication occurs during which phase of the eukaryotic cell cycle?
wariber [46]

In eukaryotic cells the DNA can be found in the nucleus mainly. so DNA replication takes place in the nucleus during the S phase of the cell cycle.

Also in eukaryotic cells there are mitochondria and chloroplasts (plants) and these have circular DNA and they also get replicated (according to their own mechanism).

Prokaryotic cells don't contain a nucleus. They do not contain DNA in the cytoplasm and thus the DNA replication will take place here.

I really hope this helps!
