What is difference between plasma cells and memory cells, and how do they prevent you becoming ill??

1 answer:

5 0

The difference between them is that they are active in fighting infection. Plasma cells are active in defense during the first exposure to invaders like viruses or bacteria producing antibodies. Memory cells last longer and make a copy of the invaders. This allows an extremely rapid defense later in case of a second exposure.

kicyunya [14]

As we can see in the pedigree, both of the parents do not possess the trait, but one of the four offspring (marked with red) is expressing the trait.
Since the trait is recessive, the only way that is possible that the parents who do not possess the trait to have the offspring with the trait is that the parents are heterozygous for the trait. Meaning that both of the parents have one dominant allele and one recessive allele.

Which way will the water the water tend to move (in terms of sugar concentration)?

Valentin [98]

water has a tendency to move across a membrane from a lower osmolarity to a higher osmolarity.

When red blood cells are placed in distilled water, which is hypotonic compared to the solution contained within the cells' membranes, the distilled water will diffuse into the red blood cells and cause them to burst.

erik [133]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

It occurs over many generations.

It happens at the genetic level.

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

Evolution is the process that involves change in the inherited traits of a population over generations.
The traits involved are the expressions of genes that are copied and passed from the parents to the offspring during reproduction process. Mutations in these genes results to new traits and thus heritable differences among organisms.
Therefore, evolution will only occur when there is change in gene frequency within a population over a given period of time. Genetic differences that are heritable are passed to the next generation.
