What type of immunity provides lifetime immunity for the body against a specific pathogen?

Tems11 [23]3 years ago
4 0


The type of immunity that provides lifetime immunity for the body against a specific pathogen is called  acquired immunity.  It is also referred to as adaptive or specific immunity.

Acquired  immunity is not present at  birth. it is learned. As a person's immune system encounters foreign substances (antigens) the components of acquired immunity learn the best way to attack each antigen and begin to develop a memory for that antigen. Acquired immunity is also called specific immunity because it tailors its attack to a specific antigen previously encountered. Its uniqueness lies in its ability to learn, adapt and remember.

Acquired immunity takes time to develop after first exposure to a new antigen. However afterward, the antigen is remembered, and subsequent responses to that antigen are quicker and more effective than those that occurred after first exposure. Memory of a particular antigen is kept by the B and T lymphocytes.

Explain how the process of meiosis relates to the way in which a child
prisoha [69]
Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information. That means that they will never be a copy of their parents because of their different genetic material. Characteristics, such as eye color, hair type and color, the shapes of facial features, and height and build, and attribute the combinations of these to the portions of DNA inherited from each parent which makes them different but still carry the DNA of their parents.

Transcription of DNA in eukaryotes is different from transcription in prokaryotes. In eukaryotes a gene that is transcribed make
vekshin1

Answer: Exons

Explanation:

In eukaryotic cell the primary transcript are very long the contains coding region (exons) and non coding region (introns)

The parts of the gene sequence that are expressed (coding region) in the protein are called exons, because they are expressed, while the parts of the gene sequence that are not expressed in the protein are called introns, because they come in between the exons.

Intron is a portion of a gene that does not code for amino acids. These Intron sequence are cleaved out and exons are spliced (I. E combine together) to form the mature mRNA molecule.

Exons are the mRNA parts that are kept and used to make protein.

I need help on the food chain:
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The food chain that is described in the question is called Grazing food chain.

Explanation:

Grazing food chain  is a type of food chain that contain producers at the  lowest tropic level.The producers can manufacture their own food by photosynthesis process. Here grass act as producers.

                       The second topic level of grazing food chain contain primary consumers which consume producer. Here grasshopper eat grass,as a result grasshopper act as primary consumers or herbivores

           The third tropic level of grazing food chain contain secondary consumers that feed on primary consumers. Here snake eats grasshopper,as a result snake act as secondary consumers or primary carnivores.

         The highest tropic level of grazing food chain contain tertiary consumers  or secondary carnivores.Hawk eats snake,as a result hawk act as Tertiary consumers or secondary carnivores.
