Breast milk provides antibodies to fight diseases.
Breast milk is produced by mammary glands in the breasts and its main function is feeding an infant. Breast milk is the primary source of nutrition for newborns. The composition of the milk includes immune-boosting white blood cells, as well as stem cells, which can help organs develop, antibodies, proteins, amino-acids, oligosaccharides, growth factors, hormones, enzymes, vitamins, minerals…
<span>Yes, all living organisms are made of at least one cell (cell theory). But, remember, viruses and prions, which cause diseases, are not technically living things, and they are NOT made of cells. Also, if asked a question similar to this on a biology test, the teacher may be trying for an answer similar to: "Organisms are made of different organ systems, which are made of various related organs, which are made of different tissues working together, which are made of cells". </span>
Answer:
The grasshopper doesn't have to use it circulatory system to carry gases to and from the grasshopper cells because the air that is passed through the trachea system is already close enough to get to the cells.
Explanation:
"In the grasshopper, exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs in the tracheal system. Hemolymph plays no part in the process. There is not even an oxygen-carrying pigment in insect hemolymph." - www.biology-pages.info

Answer:
The law of independent assortment states that the different genes get separated independently of each other and gets assorted into gametes to produce different combination of genes.
It was formulates by famous scientist G. Mendel based on his work on peas.
For example, in a traditional dihybrid cross of true breeding round and yellow seed plant with wrinkled and green seed plant, F2 generation show four different combinations of phenotype:
- round and yellow
- round and green
- wrinkled and yellow
- wrinkled and green
It shows that genes for round and yellow were independently inherited and genes for wrinkled and green were independently inherited. Else, new combinations could not be observed.
Homologous recombination is an event that takes place in prophase I during meiosis. The genetic material is exchanged between the non-sister chromtids of homologous chromosomes. It adds into the genetic variation within a population by producing more combination of genes in the gametes.
It does not violate the law of independent assortment as the genes were independently assorted. It only helps in producing more combinations of genes.
