<span>The correct answer is acquired immunity. Basically, once you get them, your body develops the immunity to fight it off. Since the measles don't change, you will never be able to get them again because you got the immunity, or acquired it, the first time you had them. Many parents go as far as to give measles to siblings of infected children so as to have the kids go through it at a young age.</span>

Answer:

A. Survive environmental changes.

Explanation:

Genomics refers to the scientific study of genes (DNA) found in living organisms such as humans and animals.

A genome can be defined as the complete set of hereditary instructions that is typically found in the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is an organic complex-molecular structure found in all living organisms. It comprises of genes and is essentially the foundation block of all living organisms.

Natural selection can be defined as a biological process in which species of living organisms having certain traits that enable them to adapt to environmental factors such as predators, competition for food, climate change, sex mates, etc., tend to survive and reproduce, as well as passing on their genes to subsequent generations.

Simply stated, natural selection entails the survival of the fittest. Therefore, the species that are able to adapt to the environment will increase in number while the ones who can't adapt will die and go into extinction.

The characteristics which are consistent with the concept of natural selection includes;

I. More offspring are produced than can survive in an environment (overproduction of offspring). This ultimately implies that, the more offsprings that are reproduced by the parent organism, the more likely are they to survive.

II. There is genetic variation within populations. This simply means that there is a better chance of having good or beneficial traits being passed from the parent organism to her offsprings.

III. Organisms with beneficial variations are more likely to survive and reproduce, as well as passing on their genes to subsequent generations.

Hence, a population of living organisms with a large gene pool (gene diversification) is more favorably disposed to survive environmental changes than a species population having a small gene pool.

In conclusion, the higher the genetic makeup of a living organism, the higher are its chances of surviving environmental changes in the ecosystem.

A caregiver of a toddler has called the poison control nurse to report that the child licked a small amount of petroleum jelly.
mel-nik [20]
The correct answer is to "dilute with milk and water". The patient should not be induced to vomit to prevent aspiration as this can lead to another condition which is aspiration pneumonia. The patient should be given either a glass of milk or a glass of water for ingestion of petroleum jelly.
