Answer:

           According to Dr. Ray Schiling (member of the American Academy of Anti-aging medicine) about 1.5 million people suffer from peanut allergies. The seeds of peanut (<em>Arachis hypogea</em>) contain an array of allergens that can induce the production of IgE specific antibodies predisposed individuals. Ara1 and Ara2 are most common seed storage protein that cause allergy. Other allergen proteins such as Ara3 to Ara 17 have also been identified that cause allergy.  


Entry of peanut allergen into body

When peanut allergens enter the body of an individuals it leads to development of different symptoms like itchy skin, tingling sensation, nausea, runny nose and anaphylaxis.  

Allergic response

There are two subsets of T-cells Th1 and Th2. Both invoke different response to allergens. Th1 direct a non-allergic response while Th2 direct allergic response ranging from releasing of histamine to anaphylactic response. The presence of IL-12 cytokines direct a Th1 based, nonspecific response.  


Mechanism of allergic response (interaction between helper T cell and B cell)

Step 1.  

           When allergen enter to body they are encountered by B cells. Immunoglobulin receptors on the surface of B cells recognize antigen (Peanut allergens) and get attached, which are then internalized and processed. Within B cells the fragments of antigens combine with HLA class 2 proteins.  

Step 2

             HLA class 2 with antigen fragments (peanut allergens) then display on the surface of B cells.

Step 3

            Receptors on the surface of helper T cells recognizes the complex of HLA class 2 and antigen fragments (peanut allergen) and is activated to produce cytokines, which activate the B cells.  

Step 4

             B cell is activated by cytokines and begins clonal expansion. Some of the progeny become anti-body producing plasma cells while other become memory B cells.

Answer:

A. Extra thick fur

Explanation:

Because the winter is cold and little body fat and a dark colored fur will get it killed faster, but long ears can help the bunny hear the danger but I don't think there will be any predetors out in the harsh snow.

Interphase: You could not distinguish any parts of the cell.
Prophase: You could clearly see the chromosomes throughout the cell.
Metaphase: The chromosomes where lines up in the middle of the cell.
Anaphase: You could see the chromosomes were separated to ether side of the cell.
Telophase: The entire cell was separated to each side but was not split into its own cell.
Cytokinesis: In this step the cell had totally separated and there was now two separate daughter cells.

o-na [289]
The answer would be analogous and convergent evolution. In evolutionary biology, convergent evolution is the procedure whereby creatures not carefully related, self-sufficiently evolve alike traits as an outcome of taking to familiarize to like surroundings. The beaks can be described as analogous since there is a similarity of structures that came from different origins.

Irina18 [472]
A CNA, certified nursing assistant, can administer medication to patients. BUT this duty is subject to the level of experience and training of the CNA as well as the regulation of the state.

CNAs basically assist in the day-to-day care of patients like:
1) bathe and dressing
2) serving meals and helping them eat
3) taking their vital signs
4) and other basic necessities to ensure that the patient is comfortable and well cared for.
