Interferons are cytokines produced by host cells in response to intracellular infection. there are two types of interferons, type i and type ii. which of the following is a difference between these two types? choose one:

a. type i is part of innate, nonspecific immunity, while type ii is part of adaptive, specific immunity.
b. type i binds to extracellular pathogens, while type ii binds to intracellular pathogens.
c. type i includes interferon-alpha and interferon-beta, while type ii includes interferon-omega.
d. type i interferes with viral replication, while type ii activates white blood cells.

Over the past 60 years, many amphibian species have experienced significant population declines and some species have become extinct. scientists suspected that local human activities such as the destruction of wetlands, regional pollution, and deforestation were the main reasons for these losses. however, research over the past 20 years reveals significant amphibian population declines in protected areas of the world, such as nature preserves and parks. these global declines suggest widespread problems including increased ultraviolet radiation, acid rain, and disease. in switzerland, for example, 14 of the 20 native amphibian species are threatened with extinction. chytridiomycosis is a fungal disease first identified in 1998 as a cause of massive amphibian deaths. in some severely impacted populations, a few individuals have survived, perhaps because of some natural resistance. if these resistant individuals continue to survive and prosper, new resistant populations might emerge. this would be an example of the founder effect artificial selection genetic drift natural selection sexual selection
