Answer:

Who became immune to smallpox after getting infested by cowpox.

Explanation:

A successful vaccine for smallpox was developed by Edward Jenner in 1796. He used the observation of milkmaids who became immune to smallpox after getting infected by the cowpox virus. It is due to the fact that the virus, which leads to cowpox infection is identical to the smallpox virus. When the milkmaids got infected by the cowpox virus, their immune cells generated antibodies, which can also destruct virus for smallpox, and therefore, they were not affected by the smallpox virus.

On May 14, 1796, Jenner took fluid from a cowpox blister and scratched it into the skin of James Phipps, an eight-year-old boy. A single blister rose up on the spot, but James soon recovered. On July 1, Jenner inoculated the boy again, this time with smallpox matter, and no disease developed. The vaccine was a success.

Polydactyly is a dominant trait. what symbol on a pedigree chart would represent a male who has polydactyly

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

The right answer is a colored square (or shaded).

Polydactyly is defined as the presence of one or more extra fingers in the hand or one or more toes in the foot.

It is a dominant trait, it means that the heterozygotes will express the trait.

In general, healthy men are represented by white squares, while sick men are represented by colored squares (most often in black).

According to Darwin's theory of evolution, how do new species evolve?

Vikki [24]

Answer:

According to Darwin's theory of evolution, new species evolved as a result of natural selection.

Explanation:

Darwin proposed that speciation could readily occur through the prolonged action of Natural selection.
Natural selection allows the 'survival of the fittest' i.e. a more fit organism will have a better chance of survival than the less fit one.
The result of Natural selection could be positive,negative or balancing.
Evolutionary process in which the genetic changes confer a higher fitness to increase frequency of the organism over time in population is called positive selection.
Evolutionary process in which genetic changes decreases the organism's fitness resulting in its disappearance from the population is called Negative selection.
It may happen that a mutation benefits hetero-zygotes but not homo-zygotes and alleles maintain a intermediate frequency in population.This evolutionary process is called balancing selection.

How can you test the idea that solar energy is required for the reduction of NADP+ to NADPH?

AysviL [449]

Answer:

In addition to biology, evidence drawn from many different disciplines, including chemistry, geology, and mathematics, supports models of the origin of life on Earth. In order to determine when the first forms of life likely formed, the rate of radioactive decay can be used to determine the age of the oldest rocks (see optional problems C and D, below) exposed on Earth’s surface. These are found to be approximately 3.5 billion years old. The age of rocks can be correlated to fossils of the earliest forms of life. A. The graph compares times of divergence from the last common ancestor based on the fossil record with a "molecular time" constructed by comparing sequences of conserved proteins to determine a mutation rate (after Hedges and Kumar, Trends in Genetics, 2003). Explain how such a molecular clock could be refined to infer time or the evolution of prokaryotes. B. Using a molecular clock constructed from 32 conserved proteins, Hedges and colleagues (Battistuzzi et al., BMC Evol. Biol. 2004) estimated the times during which key biological processes evolved. A diagram based on their work is shown. Connect the time of the origin of life inferred from this diagram with the age of the oldest fossil stromatolites and the age of the oldest exposed rock to show how evidence from different scientific disciplines provides support for the concept of evolution. Evaluate the legitimacy of claims drawn from these different disciplines (biology, geology, and mathematics) regarding the origin of life on Earth. The oldest known rocks are exposed at three locations: Greenland, Australia, and Swaziland. The following application of mathematical methods provides essential evidence of the minimum age of Earth.
