Answer:

Memory B cells divide to form plasma cells that surround the pathogen.

Explanation:

Acquired immunity is gained after birth and is usually pathogen specific. When our body encounters the pathogen for the first time, the response produced is called primary response, which is weak or we can say of low intensity. During subsequent attacks the response produced is called secondary response which is quick and of high intensity.

Both primary and secondary immune response is due to two types of cells called B-cells and T-cells. These cells provide two types of acquired immunity:

1. Humoral immunity: The B-cells produce an army of proteins is response to the pathogen. On encountering the pathogen, B-cells differentiate into plasma cells that secrete antibodies into our blood. Undifferentiated B-cells remain as memory cells.

2. Cell mediated immunity: It is mediated by T-cells. T cells do not produce antibodies but they help B cells to produce them. Some T cells differentiate into helper T cells which help activating the B cells to produce antibodies.

The answer is C, because if something contagious we’re to threaten the population of the species then not having any variant means they’re all the same and it would kill them all and cause them to go extinct

Answer:

B each new layer has a new bit of the story to tell and you can see sequential time with each strata

A. 1. Embryological development is very similar for many animals so it would differ a lot from the DNA.

2. embryological evidence is a poor substitute for DNA evidence because of it's almost universal progression. It would be more difficult to see difference in embryos vs via DNA

D. Homologous structures are structures that are similar in related organisms because they were inherited from a common ancestor. Like the arthralgus of a whale that looks very similar to a terrestrial mammals tells us that the whale evolved from land mammals

C. Relative dating is used to determine a fossils approximate age by comparing it to similar rocks and fossils of known ages. Absolute dating is used to determine a precise age of a fossil by using radiometric dating to measure the decay of isotopes, either within the fossil or more often the rocks associated with it.
