An adult female butterfly is actively flying from flower to flower while feeding on a very hot, sunny day in July. The adult butterfly developed from an egg that was laid late in the season the previous year and it became cold while she was still in the caterpillar stage.

An adult female butterfly is actively flying from flower to flower while feeding on a very hot, sunny day in July. The adult butterfly developed from an egg that was laid late in the season the previous year and it became cold while she was still in the caterpillar stage. The caterpillar entered diapause and then resumed feeding and development the following spring when it became warmer. Before entering diapause, the caterpillar was
Based on this scenario, answer the following questions:
6. In the caterpillar’s immune response to the wasp egg, the egg would be recognized by:
a. the hemagglutinin Hemolin using the pattern recognition molecule Defensin and in response the fat bodies would produce antibodies through the FAD-glucose dehydrogenase (GLD) pathway, resulting in acquired immunity.
b. granulocytes using the pattern recognition molecule Noduler and would then attract plasmatocytes, which would attach to the egg and flatten, ultimately encasing the egg in the process of encapsulation.
c. granulocytes using the toll receptor Drosomycin and would then degranulate and initiate an enzymatic cascade that results in fibrous proteins encasing the egg in the process of nodulation.
