Answer:

The body naturally responds by rejecting the new organ because it is identified as a foreign object. Doctors use tissue typing to measure the compatibility of the antigens in the organ to that of the recipient. Another way doctors make sure the organs are accepted is through immunosuppressants that make the immune system does not attack the organ.

Explanation:

must include:

body rejects transplants because it recognizes them as foreign

lymphocytes attack the new organ

tissue typing measures antigens on tissue donor organ for compatibility

immunosuppressants disrupt the replication process of lymphocytes that produce antibodies and makes the immune system less effective

What is mutation? How does it contribute to adaptation or evolution?

alexgriva [62]

A mutation is a new element added to the genetic buildup of an organism. this leads to new abilities that makes that organism adapt to different things, this is passed down through the organisms descendants which will help them get through situations other organisms can't, thus helping the entire species evolve.
