Answer:

Adaptive immune response

A liver is transplanted from a donor to a recipient.

A person is injected with the typhoid vaccine.

Innate immune response

Swelling occurs around the area of a scratch.

A person has a high fever during a viral infection.

Explanation:

In an innate immune response system the main objective is to restrict the ability and functioning of disease causing microorganisms such as bacteria, parasite, and fungi etc. so that they do not move across the entire body and hence denature their ability to infect.  

While in an adaptive immune response system, the response against any foreign element is produced based on the memory of immune system with respect to its last interaction with the same antigen either through vaccination or through the antigen itself.  

Thus, liver transplantation and typhoid vaccination are example of adaptive immune response and swelling and high fever due to viral infection are example of innate immune response.

•    a liver is transplanted from a donor to a recipient - adaptive immune response (via T killer cells or B cells)

•    a person is injected with the typhoid vaccine-adaptive immune response (The immune response to vaccination may not be perceived as illness but still confers immune memory)

•    swelling occurs around the area of a scratch-innate immune response (inflammation)

•     a person has a high fever during a viral infection-innate immune response(includes substances called interferon and interleukin-1 which causes fever).

DNA is a nucleic acid that consists of thousands of smaller, repeating units called nucleotides.
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Besides storing genetic information, nucleic acids helps in

Understanding diseases

Creation of proteins

Transmission of information

Explanation:

Understanding diseases

Knowledge about the nucleic acids and their mechanism of action helps in understanding the causes of a disease and the possible cure for the disease. A genetic disease is caused when there is a faulty gene, which is made up of nucleic acids, is present in the genome. These genes will make faulty RNA's which will result in the establishment of faulty proteins. Hence, by having understanding about nucleic acids, diseases can be studies and cured.

Creation of proteins

The information from the DNA is coded by the mRNA which is used to make proteins.

Transmission of information

Apart from storing information, the nucleic acids such as the DNA are also involved in the transmission of information.
