Insects have a different type of immune system than vertebrates. An insect's fat body is an organ that functions like the human

liver. When an insect faces infection, its fat body and some blood cells produce proteins that cooperatively attack harmful bacteria and viruses. An insect's immune system helps it to maintain homeostasis by
A
destroying foreign organisms and genetic material.

B
expelling foreign organisms and genetic material.

C
concentrating foreign organisms and inorganic material.

D
transforming foreign organisms and inorganic material.

Answer: The correct answer is- A)

Insects are dependent on innate immune system for their survival. It is broadly divided into two categories that is cellular and systemic immune response.

When an insect faces infection, its fat body ( that is liver) and some blood cells produce proteins, which attack the infectious agents. These proteins are called antimicrobial peptides ( AMP) that are secreted into the hemolymph, where they fight against the infection by destroying foreign organisms and genetic material.

Due to this, a homeostasis ( a state of equilibrium) is maintained in their body.

Thus, option A) is the right answer.

Suppose the size of a population of marmots is 300. According to genetic drift theory, what is the probability that a newly aris
arsen [322]

Answer:

E. 1/600

Explanation:

Hint:

The probability of fixation of a new neutral mutation is 1/(2N)

Given N as 300

= 1/(2×300)

=1/600

Therefore,

1/600 gives a sure fixation of one allele from the large population

In figure 28-7, what information indicates that meiosis takes place during the jellyfish's reproductive cycle?
omeli [17]
By using the legend below the diagram, you can assume that Phase 1 indicates that meiosis has occurred because of the color of the arrow. The dark gray indicates haploid, and haploid is the result of meiosis. Diploid is the result of mitosis. 

Another indication is the presence of sex cells or gametes in Phase 1. Meiosis produces gametes and in phase 1, you can see that egg cells and sperm cells were produced.

g Choose the correct answer from the list. Group of answer choices DNA sequences that are deduced by comparing many related DNA
REY [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Group of answer choices DNA sequences that are deduced by comparing many related DNA sequences are called CONSENSUS. Unlike DNA synthesis, RNA synthesis requires TRANSCRIPTION. PROMOTERS direct RNA polymerase to the initiation site. RNA synthesis complexes containing DNA, RNA, and polymerase perform TRANSLATION. RNA synthesis (tRNA, mRNA, and rRNA) takes place in complexes containing DNA, RNA, and polymerase are called TRANSCRIPTION BUBBLES. The expression of beta-galactosidase requires the induction of operons by addition of REPRESSORS.
