Answer:

C) It is critical to the increase in the numbers of specific cells

Explanation:

Clonal selection and expansion is the mechanism by which the immune system selects specific cells capable of both recognizing antigens and increasing the number of these useful cells that fight against pathogenic microorganisms and viruses. During this mechanism, B cells (also known as B lymphocytes) that have specific transmembrane receptors capable of recognizing specific antigens, are multiplied. The process of expansion involves the hypermutation of the clones in order to modify the shape and structure of these receptors, which increases the affinity of the clones for specific antigens.

Describe how the NMDA type of glutamate receptor is the physiological mechanism of forming associative memories.
disa [49]

Answer:

Explanation: glutamate and glycine (or D-serine) bind to it, and when activated it allows positively charged ions to flow through the cell membrane. The NMDA receptor is very important for controlling synaptic plasticity and memory function. The NMDAR is a specific type of ionotropic glutamate receptor.

Oogonia multiply until the fifth month. within six months after birth, each will transform into a:_____.
kvv77 [185]

Oogonia multiply until the fifth month .within six months after birth ,each will transform into a primary oocyte .

What is oogonia ?

During foetal stag of development the embryo develops the germinal epithelium of ovary .some of the cells of  germinal epithelium enlarge and divide mitotically . the dividing cells projects into the stroma as a cord known as the egg tube of Pflugar;which later becomes a round mass ,called the egg nest .all these dividing cells are  egg mother cells known as Oogonia.this is derived from the endodermal lining of the embryonic yolk sac which comes to lie in the ovary of the female ( while it is still an  embryo ).

What is primary oocyte?

One cell of the egg nest grows but does not divide furter so as to form the primary oocyte.the primary oocyte is diploid and enters the growth phase.it is dormant stage ,nucleus intact ,female is born with these in her ovary.every month primary oocytes resume oogenesis and start developing growth and development in the onset of puberty.

Hence the correct answer is Primary oocyte.

n this example we will use the concept of equivalent resistance to determine the current in a circuit. Three identical resistors
belka [17]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The complete question is in the iimage attached.

a) We can see that R1 is in series with the parallel combination of R2 and R3. Hence the equivalent resistance is given by:

R_{eq}=R_1+(R_2//R_3)\\\\R_{eq}=R_1+\frac{R_2R_3}{R_2+R_3}\\ \\R_{eq}=6+\frac{6*6}{6+6}\\\\R_{eq}=6+3\\\\R_{eq}=9\ \Omega

b)

The current in the circuit (I) is given as:

I = emf / Req

I = 18 / 9

I = 2A

The current through resistor R1 = I1 = I = 2A

Since R2 and R3 are parallel to each other their respective currents I2 and I3 is given  as:

I_2=I*\frac{R_3}{R_2+R_3}=2*\frac{6}{6+6}=1\ A  \\\\I_3=I*\frac{R_2}{R_2+R_3}=2*\frac{6}{6+6}=1\ A
