Answer:

Killer T cells release enzymes that help destroy invading foreign matter (antigens), Helper T cells, on the other hand, stimulate another type of lymphocyte known as B cells. B cells produce antibody, which is a protein made in response to a specific antigen.

Genetic drift is change in the allele frequency of a population due to

svp [43]

Answer:

Genetic drift is change in allele frequencies in a population from generation to generation that occurs due to chance events. To be more exact, genetic drift is change due to "sampling error" in selecting the alleles for the next generation from the gene pool of the current generation.Explanation:

Consider the following hypothetical population and compute the statistical measures below: #births = 50,000; #deaths = 10,000; #

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The birth rate refers to an average number of births in one year per thousand individuals in the population at mid-year.

BR = (total birth in an annum / total population in mid year) * 1000

BR = (50000 / 1000000) * 1000 = 50

Death rate refers to an average number of death in an annum per thousand individuals in a population at mid year. Thus,

DR = (total death / total population in mid year) * 1000

DR = (10000 / 1000000) * 1000 = 10

Annual population growth rate or APGR is calculated as:

APGR = (Birth rate - Death rate) / Death rate

APGR = (50 - 10) / 10 = 4.0 %

Doubling time is the whole sum time needed for a population to get double in size. It is calculated as DT = ln (2) / growth rate

70 / 4.0 = 17.5 years

Thus, population will get double in 17.5 years.

Adjusted (true) growth rate is equal to APGR + (NMR / Death rate)

And NMR = [(immigrants -emigrants) / total population] * 1000

NMR = [(5000 - 20000) / 1000000] * 1000 = -15

Thus, Adjusted (True) growth rate = 4.0 + (-15 /10) = -6%

The adjusted (true) doubling time = ln (2) / Adjusted growth rate

= 70 / -6 = -11.66

This negative sign shows that it will never get double in such situation.

Few seeds can be dispersed by more than one method of seed dispersal.’ Explain with suitable examples.

MrMuchimi

Answer:

There are five main modes of seed dispersal: gravity, wind, ballistic, water, and by animals. Some plants are serotinous and only disperse their seeds in response to an environmental stimulus.

Gravity: A good example of gravity dispersal is the marigold flower. When they are ready, these seeds drop to the ground.

Wind: There are two types of wind dispersal adaptations, the floaters, and the fliers:

(wind) Floaters: The common dandelion is a good example of this type of seed dispersal.

(wind) Fliers: Maple seeds grow in pairs, but when they are mature, they separate, and a strong wind can pull them from the stem

Ballistic: Some common examples of this type of dispersal are garden peas. When the cells grow older, the result is that the pods break open and twist. This twisting actions pops the seeds lose and pushes them away from the pod.

Water: Coconuts have a husk that surrounds the seed. This husk is very buoyant and a coconut seed can float across hundreds of miles of ocean before washing ashore on a new island to germinate and grow into a tree.

Animals: there are also two types of these, hitchhikers and edibles. Seeds that stick to the outside of animals, or are spread when they go out the other end after being eaten:

Hitchhikers: Some examples are cockleburs and foxtail.

Edibles: These seeds are surrounded by good tasting fruit, like apples and peaches.
