Answer no 8:
The correct option is D) Antelopes with muscular legs are bale to outrun their predators better than antelopes with poor muscle tone. Thus they lived to reproduce.
Explanation:
Genetic variations in a population are the main reason that natural selection tends to occur. Natural selection favours those organisms which have better characteristics.The organisms with better traits are able to reproduce and pass on their characteristics to their offsprings.
Answer No 10:
The correct option is A) Phenotype directly influences the interaction of an organism with its environment.
Explanation:
The interactions between the phenotypic traits and the environment analyze whether a particular organism will be able to survive and pass on its characteristics to its offspring. Hence, the phenotype directly influences the interaction of an organism with its environment.
Answer No 9
The correct option is A) resistance to a virus
Explanation:
Mutations can be described as any changes which occur in the DNA of an organism. Mutations might be beneficial or harmful depending on the location where the mutation arises. Viruses are usually harmful for eukaryotes. Hence, the correct option is A.
Answer No 11:
The correct option is C) Giraffes with longer necks survived because they were better suited to the environment.
Explanation:
Natural selection tends to favour those organsims which are better suited to live in an environment. Those organisms with better characteristics are able to survive and pass on their traits to their offsprings.
The giraffes with longer necks were better adapted to live in the environment and hence were favoured by natural selection.
Answer No 12:
The correct option is D) selective breeding
Explanation:
Selective breeding can be described as a technique in which organisms with better characteristics are crossed, so that offsprings with better characteristics can be produced. Selective breeding is done by humans where as natural selection is done by the nature.
Answer: Protein folding and oligomerization
Explanation:
Binding immunoglobulin protein (BiP) is a vital protein present in humans essential for the translocation of secreted peptides.
BiP is a molecular chaperone which is present in lumen of ER (endoplasmic reticulum) which binds to the new protein and then translocat into the ER. The protein in ER is maintained under subsequent condition and important for protein folding and oligomerization (conversion of a monomer or group of monomer into an oligomer).
Several other functions of BiP are:
- ER translocation
- ER-associated degradation (ERAD)
- UPR pathway
Hence, BiP is a chaperone, it is important for protein folding and oligomerization.
Answer:
A. Chipmunks sleeping underground through the winter
Explanation:
A seasonal change in the behavior of a living organism is a change that occurs every year at a particular time. The reasons for the occurrence of such changes are so that the organism has advantage in survival in the environment. In this case we have the chipmunk that sleeps underground through the winter. We have an animal which exhibit a seasonal change every year, during the winter period. The reason for this is that the chipmunks have very quick metabolism, so if they are active during the winter they will starve because of lack of food. Instead, the chipmunks have evolved to hibernate during the winter, thus slowing down the work of their hurt during the winter and sleep, until the spring comes.

Active Immunity, Immunity which is acquired by the own immune response of the body.
Passive Immunity, Immunity which is acquired and dependent upon the antibodies transported from another person or even an animal. A person's immune system does not acquire or make the antibodies itself. A newborn baby acquires passive immunity from its mother through the placenta.

</h2>
Vaccination is a artificial active immunity. Artificial because the antibodies are not acquired by any natural infection but it is injected into the healthy body of the person. It is Active immunity because the body does not get already made (from other animal) antibodies but it acts on the small amount of the pathogen which is injected in the body and acquires the antibodies itself. So the person acquires antibodies naturally acting on the antigen. Antigen is any foreign agent which triggers the immune system to produce antibodies against it. Vaccines contains antigen which is a harmless form of the bacteria or a virus that causes the disease you are being immunised against. The bacteria or virus are in small proportion and greatly weakened in the vaccine so they just trigger an immune response without causing any real damage. When Vaccine is injected in the body, the immune system starts to make antibodies of different forms against the antigen(Virus or bacteria in the vaccine). When the appropriate shape antibody reacts with the antigen and forms antibody-antigen complex which destroys the antigen. This means that type and shape of antibody is perfect to work against that antigen, then the immune system start forming only those kind of antibodies in great proportion and the Person gets immunised by the vaccine in a natural way.
