How did Mary Montagu discover a vaccine for smallpox

Biology
1 answer:
insens350 [35]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Lady Mary Wortley Montagu adapted "variolation" instead of "vaccination" to prevent smallpox in her children. She learned about it when she was in Constantinople (Turkey) with her husband. There, prisoners were intentionally inoculated with smallpox virus under their skin. When she saw that they didn't develop the disease and were among survivors, she inoculated smallpox virus to her children (son and daughter) as well using a needle. Later on, efforts of Edward Jenner towards vaccination were also recognized and it became a fashion to inoculate smallpox as a preventive measure.

2. How has genetics, combined with<br> paleontology, added to our<br> understanding of evolution?
motikmotik

Answer:

To find the extinct species and their divergence of characters can be studied using molecular genetic techniques.

Explanation:

  • Paleontology is the study of ancient species and their remaining that were found millions of years ago. These species extinction can be found and manipulated to find out the origin or divergence of species from their origin
  • The samples of these species may contains their remains that help the biologist to isolate and analyze their protein or DNA. when the DNA is isolated their sequences can be generated using molecular biology techniques.
  • When the sequences are identified by advanced molecular biology techniques, the existence and similarities of different species due to their convergence or divergence can be identified.
  • By identifying the convergence or divergence the characteristics, evolutionary change in behavior, variation in appearance can be studied.
  • By using these techniques, biologist have found that <em>homo sapiens</em>  are 99% have their similarities with chimpanzee
  • Thus, using genetics in paleontology helps us to understand adaptation a species is changing according to the evolutionary changes.

Nitric oxide is a paracrine signal molecule because NO
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

C. is unstable, with a short half life

Explanation:

Paracrine hormones are the hormones that act on neighboring cells only. These hormones or chemicals are largely unstable and have a brief life as do not visit the distantly placed target cells. For instance, somatostatin is secreted by D cells of the pancreas. It acts in a paracrine manner and inhibits the discharge of hormones from the neighboring beta and alpha cell.

Likewise, one of the functions of unstable NO gas is to serve as a vasodilator. It is released by epithelium cells and serves to dilate arterioles and relax precapillary sphincters. Then it is degraded.

How do scientists produce new genetic variations not found in nature? by a transforming rna b using gel electrophoresis. c using
valentinak56 [21]
Scientists most often produce new genetic variations of organisms by causing mutations with radiation or chemicals and then selectively breeding in order to emphasize the desired traits in the new variations. The Dachshund is an example of this. By breeding two dogs with a similar mutation that caused student legs and elongated backs breeders were able to create a new variation not found in nature.
