Vaccines​ don't provide immunity from disease for some people. But if most people get vaccinated against a​ disease, such as​ me

asles, then the population achieves​ "herd immunity," which means that there are so few cases of the disease that even people for whom vaccinations are ineffective are unlikely to contract the disease. An article in the Economist magazine argues​ that, "herd immunity is a classic public​ good."
This statement is
A. not true, because not everyone can consume herd immunity whether or not they pay for it.
B. true, because immunity is nonexcludable, and everyone can simultaneously enjoy the? "herd immunity."
C. true, because a person receives some immunity from the disease by being vaccinated, even if other people are not vaccinated.
D. not true, because immunity is nonexcludable, but in order for it to occur there must be a herd, and there is no guarantee that enough people will get vaccinated.

Answer:

B. true, because immunity is nonexcludable, and everyone can simultaneously enjoy the "herd immunity."

Explanation:

When a lot of people get vaccinated against a disease, the chances of spreading of that disease drastically decreases in the population. Even if someone is not vaccinated against that disease, their chances of contracting it are low because other people are vaccinated and hence its incidence rate in population is low. This phenomena is called as herd immunity. For example: 19 out of 20 people should be vaccinated against measles to protect the non vaccinated ones.

Herd immunity benefits the entire public and is considered a classic public good. It is nonexcludable which means that someone can not be excluded from being benefited by it. Two people residing in the same population will reap the benefits of herd immunity even if the degree of benefit might be different.

liraira [26]

The question is incorrect so the answer consists of the genetic context of meiosis.

Answer:

Two main types of cell division are mitosis and meiosis. Meiosis is the process of cell cycle division in which the parents cell divides into the four daughter cells. This division is also known as reductional division.

In meiosis, the gametes are haploid where as the parent cell is diploid in nature. The cell undergoes the two meiosis division, the first division is reductional in nature whereas the second meiosis division is same as the mitotic division. This division occurs in the sex cells and results in the formation of haploid gamete hat restores deiploidy during fertilization process. Crossing over during meiosis bring variation in the cells.

katovenus [111]
Continental drift was a theory that explained how continents shift position on Earth's surface. Set forth in 1912 by Alfred Wegener, a geophysicist and meteorologist, continental drift also explained why look-alike animal and plant fossils, and similar rock formations, are found on different continents.
