European rabbits were introduced to Australia in 1859. The rabbits reproduced rapidly in their new environment, displaced other

animals and overgrazed vegetation. In an attempt to reduce the rabbit population, a deadly virus was introduced in 1951. When the virus was first introduced, the rabbits died in large numbers, but the death rate decreased over time. What statement best explains the decrease in the rabbit death rate? A) The virus had a short life span and died out with the rabbits. B) Natural selection favored rabbits that were resistant to the virus. C) The rabbits died of natural causes and the introduced virus did not work. D) Young rabbits exhibited a learned behavior and began to avoid being infected by the virus.

Answer:

B) Natural selection favored rabbits that were resistant to the virus

Explanation:

Most likely, virus resistance occurred over time, as a consequence of mutation. Individuals that carried the resistance mutation become favourable by natural selection.

Natural selection is evolutionary mechanism which favours traits of an organism that help him survive and reproduce (increase organism's fitness). In the example above, resistant rabbits that survived had the favorable trait (resistance) by natural selection.

Mariulka [41]

Answer:it is a similar thing to natural selection, the ones less effected by it survive and adapt over time to survive the vaccine. However, google defines it this way, "The adaptive immune system, also known as the acquired immune system or, more rarely, as the specific immune system, is a subsystem of the overall immune system that is composed of highly specialized, systemic cells and processes that eliminate pathogens or prevent their growth"

In what two ways do plants keep our climate stable over time?​
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Through transpiration and use of carbon dioxide (green house gas)

Explanation:

Plants help in making the climate stable in following two ways –  

a) Temperature offsetting – Plants take in carbon dioxide from atmosphere and thereby reduces atmospheric carbon. Due to reduction in greenhouse gases, the temperature reduces.  

b) Moisture regulation – Plants transpire through their leaves. Through transpiration, they release water as vapor and cool down the air. The higher the vegetation , the more is the transpiration.

In which of the following organelles would you expect to first find a protein destined to be secreted from a cell? In which of t
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

The endoplasmic reticulum is expected to be the first organelle with a protein destined to be secreted from a cell.

Explanation:

The rough endoplasmic reticulum is in charge of the synthesis and transport of the proteins destined for secretion. It is also in charge of the latest protein modifications after transduction. Synthesis of proteins might start in the cytoplasm with the production of a molecule portion known as a signal sequence. This portion leads the synthesizing protein and associated ribosome to a specific region in the Rough endoplasmic reticulum where it continues the protein building. Here it also happens the protein folding and the initial stages of glycosylation.  

Once proteins are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum, they are packaged and sent to the Golgi complex in vesicles, where it happens the final association of carbohydrates with proteins. Finally, protein is transported from the Golgi complex to the embrane and to its final destiny.
