As a baby, Gina was exposed to a pathogen. Because of passive immunity, Gina's body was able to fight off the pathogen before sh
Serhud [2]

First of all, it is important to understand the difference between passive and active immunity.

Passive immunity is when we are given antibodies that were not produced by our own body (for example those transferred from mother to child, or those taken as part of medication or therapy - note that the former would be an example of naturally acquired passive immunity and the latter of artificially acquired passive immunity).

Active immunity, on the other hand, refers to antibodies that were produced by our own bodies due to exposure to a pathogen or part thereof - this can also be naturally acquired, such as when we are infected by a pathogen, or artificially, such as when we are vaccinated.

Given this information, what enabled Gina to fight the pathogen would be the second answer (antibodies she received from her mother), however we can also look at the other answers and discount them as false to be sure:

Answer 1 - high fever caused by a pathogen

The question states that Gina was able to fight off the pathogen before she got sick - a fever suggests that:

a) she is already sick

b) her body is launching its own immune response

Answer 3 - antibodies she received from a vaccination

The antibodies produced as a result of vaccination are produced by your own body (despite being stimulated artificially through exposure to the pathogen), thus this is not the correct answer.

Answer 4: inflammation caused by antibodies

This answer is incorrect due to the fact that antibodies do not directly cause inflammation.

Thus, the correct answer is the second one 'antibodies she received from her mother'.

Hope that helps :)

One of the questions early geneticists had to answer was how only four nucleotides can specify placement of 20 amino acids in pr
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

<h2>Codon </h2>

Explanation:

The sequence of DNA is transcribed into mRNA, containing the sequence  for protein synthesis, protein is synthesized according to the codons in mRNA.  This sequence of nucleotide on DNA/ RNA is divided into a series of three nucleotide units, and one unit of three nucleotide is  known as codons.

There are overall 64 codons, 61 codons out of 64 codons, codes for overall 20  amino acids, and the remaining three  are stop codons.

These there codon do not code for any amino acid.

And these 61 codons, they  code for total 20 amino acids. So one amino acid can be coded by one or more than one codons.

A new species is discovered and scientists are trying to classify it. One of the key features found is that the species is entir
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Parasitic

Explanation:

The species that is described is a parasitic species. The reason why it will fall into this category is that its key feature is that it is entirely dependent on other organisms for its food. This type of species are not able to produce food for themselves, nor are able to get it from the environment, which is way they have evolved in a manner to use the other organisms. They find a host organisms, attach to it, and then they are extracting the nutrients out of that organism, thus classical parasitism. The extraction of the nutrients can be so severe that the parasitic species can actually kill systemically its host.
