Options:

A. Grasses and ants

B. Ants and grasshoppers

C. Grasshoppers and Texas cottonmouths

D. Texas cottonmouths and red-shouldered hawks

Answer:

B. Ants and grasshoppers

Explanation:

Looking at the partial Texas food web that is given below in the diagram attached, it shows that the Texas horned lizard feeds mainly on ants and grasshopper as a secondary consumer in the food web. As a result of this, the population of ants and grasshoppers would be often put in check and regulated.

However, if a disease suddenly reduces the population of the Texas horned lizard, it means that ants and grasshoppers won't be heavily preyed on anymore, since the population of their major predator has now been reduced.

Therefore, a reduction in the population of Texas horned lizard would result in the increase in the population of ants and grasshoppers.

Developing a new vaccine takes about 5-10 years. So how is it possible to develope Corona vaccine so quickly?

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

vaccines were designed by using new technologies (i.e., RNA-based vaccines and adenovirus-based vaccines)

Explanation:

RNA-based vaccines are vaccines based on the delivery of specific messenger RNA (mRNA) sequences that are capable of encoding only one viral protein, thereby preventing the complete viral cycle/replication. Subsequently, this protein is recognized by the immune system that generates memory immunity by synthesizing specific antibodies against this protein (in this case, the spike S protein). On the other hand, adenovirus-based vaccines are vaccines designed by inserting a transgene cassette into an adenovirus which is used as vector to produce one specific viral protein inside the host. Like mRNA vaccines, this antigenic viral protein is then recognized by the immune system in order to produce antibodies against a defined protein epitope, thereby producing memory immunity.
