How do phagocytic white blood cells help your body stay healthy?​

Biology

These cells consume bacteria and other pathogens to protect the body from infection. The process begins when chemicals from a pathogen, or damaged tissue, attract a phagocyte. The phagocyte binds to the microbe, envelopes it, and then eats it.

In which oceanic zone do clams and crabs survive by burrowing in the sand?
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Mesopelagic zone

Explanation:

The Mesopelagic zone, also referred to as the Twilight zone, is the second oceanic zone from the top, lying just bellow the Epipelagic zone. It is occupying the waters at depths between 200 meters and 1,000 meters. The sunlight is only managing to reach the top few meters of this zone, while the rest is not receiving any sunlight, thus this zone is not supporting the plant species because they need sunlight for the process of photosynthesis. There are lot of animal species that live in this zone though, and they are ll very well adapted for it, often having hard shells or heavily scaled bodies, larger lungs and heart, and very well developed gills. Some of the animals that live in here are the crabs and the clams. They have developed all the needed characteristics to live in this zone. Because they are prey to lot of larger animals, both the crabs and the clams have started to use the soft sediments at the bottom as cover, digging themselves below it, and mostly managing to evade trouble and end up as food for the other species.

Species a diverged from species b 60,000 years ago. On a particular gene, they have 15 nucleotide differences. How many nucleoti
a_sh-v [17]

The given question says that b species diverged around 60,000 year ago from species a. Since the divergence, they have a nucleotide difference of 15 nucleotide.

We need to find out the nucleotide difference in another 240,000 year, which means a total of 300,000 year since divergence.

The nucleotide difference in 60,000 years = 15 nucleotide.

The nucleotide difference in 1 year =\frac{15}{60,000}  nucleotide.

The nucleotide difference in 300,000 years = \frac{15}{60,000}\times 300,000 nucleotide.

The nucleotide difference in 300,000 years = 75 nucleotide.

Hence, after another 240,000 years or 300,000 years since divergence, the species and species b would show a difference of 75 nucleotide.

In another 240,000 years, there would be 60 nucleotide difference, as 15 of the nucleotide are already different in initial 60,000 years from the total of 75 nucleotide difference in 300,000 years. So, 60 (75-15) nucleotide difference would be observed in next 240,000 years.

In the female, the development of the "egg" halts during TWO stages, _________ and __________
earnstyle [38]

Answer: The blanks can be correctly filled up with prophase I and metaphase II.

Explanation:

In females, finite number of oocytes are present since birth. The process of oogenesis initiate in embryonic stage only. However, oogonia divide and mature to form primary oocytes. These primary oocytes start meiotic division but arrest in prophase I stage before birth.

After a girl attains puberty, one primary oocyte resumes its division each month during a menstrual cycle. The primary oocyte divides to form secondary oocyte and polar body.

Polar bodies degenerate after completing meiosis II. However, secondary oocyte halts its division again at metaphase II until fertilization takes place. Once fertilization takes place it completes its meiosis II and results into mature ovum and polar body.
