Which of the following reveals the difference between constitutive and induced defenses? Select one: a. Constitutive defenses are encoded in DNA, whereas inducible defenses have no DNA basis b. Constitutive defenses represent an ongoing fitness cost, whereas inducible defenses only require energy inputs when needed c. Constitutive defenses are free from fitness costs whereas inducible defenses have a lagtime that decreases fitness d. Constitutive defenses need time to be activated; inducible defenses are always available e. Constitutive defenses are best for specific pathogens whereas inducible defenses are best against general pathogen categories.
