Answer:

The correct answer would be d. thymus.

The thymus is a specialized lymphoid organ of an immune system.

It serves as the site for training and maturation of T-lymphocytes or T cells.  

It is composed two identical lobes each containing outer region termed as cortex and inner region termed as medulla.

T-cells are first trained and selected in the cortex region via positive selection. In this, T cells which are able to bind to foreign antigens are selected and rest are degraded.

The selected T cells then move in the medulla region where they are selected by negative selection. In this, the T cells which binds to self-antigens are degraded and rest survive to become functional T cells.

What are the only types of mutations that matter to large-scale evolution?
hoa [83]

Answer:

The only types of mutations that matter to large-scale evolutionary species are the mutations that can be passed to offspring (Genetic).

Explanation:

If a mutation is passed to offspring, through the generations it will become more and more prevalent...Eventually causing a pretty good dent on a population size. Hope this helps : )!

In an ecosystem can there be more carnivores than herbivore? Explain why or why not
Kobotan [32]
There cannot be more carnivores than herbivores because the carnivores eat the herbivores. If there wasn't enough herbivores to eat, then the carnivores would eventually become extinct.

An action potential involves potassium ions moving ________ the cell and sodium ions moving ________ the cell.
Alecsey [184]

An action potential involves potassium ions moving <u>outside </u>the cell and sodium ions moving <u>inside </u>the cell.

<h3>how does it action potential work?</h3>

Neurons have a negative concentration gradient most of the time, meaning there are more positively charged ions outside than inside the cell. This regular state of a negative concentration gradient is called resting membrane potential. During the resting membrane potential there are:

  • more sodium ions (Na^+ ) outside than inside the neuron
  • more potassium ions (K^+ ) inside than outside the neuron

The concentration of ions isn’t static though! Ions are flowing in and out of the neuron constantly as the ions try to equalize their concentrations. The cell however maintains a fairly consistent negative concentration gradient (between -40 to -90 millivolts). How?

  • The neuron cell membrane is super permeable to potassium ions, and so lots of potassium leaks out of the neuron through potassium leakage channels (holes in the cell wall).
  • The neuron cell membrane is partially permeable to sodium ions, so sodium atoms slowly leak into the neuron through sodium leakage channels.
  • The cell wants to maintain a negative resting membrane potential, so it has a pump that pumps potassium back into the cell and pumps sodium out of the cell at the same time.
