Answer:

The tissue typing is a blood test that matches the number of antigens on the surface of recipients and donor blood surface. The main aim of matching a tissue of donor kidney with the person who is seeking transplantation is the identification of a Human Leukocyte Antigen. It is a marker that tells the possibility of the organ to accept organs from another person body.

If the tissue type of the donor and the recipient do not match then the body immune system identifies it as foreign tissue and try to kill it or reject it. That is why tissue typing is done to prevent rejection after transplantation.

5) Why is mimicry a helpful adaptation?
kompoz [17]
Ok so answer for 5 would be
5) a mimicry could be a great fully helpful adaption because as an example, the butterfly’s that blend in with trees, or the butterfly’s that look like birds, can either scare away predators or they can blend in.

6) as an example, a blue tongue skink has a blue tongue which is very common in venomous animals. Whenever said skink is threatened, it puffs up, opens its mouth, and hisses. When most predators see the tongue, they assume it’s venomous/poisonous because of the bright color. Another example would be milk snakes who look like coral snakes to scare away predators

According to the passage, which of the following topics of study was the most crucial to his final analysis?
TEA [102]

Answer: The study of plant varieties.

Explanation:

This question relates to the studies that Gregor Mendel, founder of modern genetics, performed at the University of Vienna.

Experimenting on pea plants, Gregor Mendel was able to establish a lot of the rules of heredity that we know today even though his research was not fully appreciated or understood during his own life.

He credited the study of plant varieties to have been most crucial to his final analysis because farmers had been crossbreeding varieties for millennia to bring about better traits in plants.
