Answer:

Because the child was vaccinated against this disease, the germs are not able to travel from one person to the other, and the family in this case, is less likely to get the disease. Even his siblings, that didn't get the vaccine, will get some protection from getting sick. This is known as community immunity.

Does the number of chromosomes correspond to the complexity of an organism?
NemiM [27]
<span>No, not at all. Adders-tongue, a plant, has 1260 chromosomes whereas humans have 46. A few more examples; pineapples 50, elephant 56, potato 48. We wouldn't consider potatoes more complex than we are at all. Chromosome count has nothing to do with complexity, intelligence, or any other way we try to rate ourselves and other species.</span>

_____ allow materials to be exchanged between the blood and tissues, _____ carry blood towards the heart, and _____ carry blood
likoan [24]

Capillaries; veins; arteries

Capillaries allow materials to be exchanged between the blood and tissues, veins carry blood towards the heart, and arteries carry blood away from the heart.

Capillaries are small blood vessels through which molecules such as oxygen and glucose enter the cells.  

Veins are tubes or blood vessels that transport blood toward the heart. Veins mostly transport deoxygenated blood towards the heart except the pulmonary and umbilical veins, which transports oxygenated blood toward heart.

Arteries are blood vessels that transport blood away from the heart to other parts of the body. Arteries have elastic walls and they are stronger and thicker than veins.

Is it possible for a whale in captivity to live after it has been realsed
koban [17]
The possibility of release is only possible if the whale has only been in captivity for a short time. An example of this is Springer, the killer whale that was treated for emaciation and nursed back to health before being rehabitated and ruined to their pod. For orcas like the whales at Seaworld (which has just been banned from further breeding! Yay!), these whales are unable to be released as they have been in captivity their whole life. All animals, including marine mammals, can be imprinted by human interaction. Captive whales are accustomed to being fed by humans and do not know how to fend for themselves in the wild. If they were released into the wild, these tame whales may attack boats and humans, thinking they will feed them and inevitably starve to death because they are unable to hunt. Whales live in pods otherwise known as their whole life. They hunt and feed with them. If a captive whale were to be released, it would be unable to hunt as they wouldn't have a pod that would assist them.
