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.

If a somatic cell during metaphase of mitosis contains 16 chromatids, and a germ-line cell from this species divides by meiosis,
Maru [420]

Answer:

8 chromatids

Explanation:

Meiosis is a kind of division that produces offsprings with their chromosomal number reduced by half. It occurs in a two-step division i.e. meiosis I and II. In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes (similar but non-identical chromosomes received from each parent) separate.

Hence, in this case involving a somatic cell with 16 chromatids. This means that it possesses 8 chromosomes since each chromosome comprises of two sister chromatids. During Anaphase 1 of meiosis 1, each homologous chromosome separate into opposite poles of the cell, and after cytokinesis, there would be 4 chromosomes (8 chromatids) in each cell.

These chromatids will separate in meiosis II.
