Outbreak of diseases may cause by pathogens such as such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. On the cell surface of these organisms proteins are present called antigens. On entering the antigen in the body, the immune system produce antibodies against antigen. It is better to test for disease antigens in sudden outbreaks because these antigens confirms the origin of the outbreak before the pathogen get destroyed by antibodies.

In the case, when the outbreak is sudden, there is a need to test for antigen, as the body has not generated any kind of antibodies yet to defend against the disease. It is thus better to test for the antigens.  

In epidemiology, an outbreak refers to the sudden enhancement in the happenings of the disorder in a specific place and time. The outbreaks involve epidemics, which is usually applied for infectious diseases, as well as ailments with an environmental origin, like foodborne or water disease.

If two organisms show a developmental homology you would also definently expect them to?
san4es73 [151]

If two organisms show a developmental homology you would also definitely expect them to share genetic homologies.

Homology is the similarity between two organisms. This similarity can be of body structures, physiology, etc. This homology is generally due to shared ancestral history between two organisms. For example, the wings of a bird and bats are homologous structures, this is because they have a common anatomy.

Genetic homology refers to the arrival from the same gene from a common ancestor. The same gene is shared between two organisms who may not be related in any other matter. Genetic homology can even be depicted by the sequences of a protein.

Which chamber receives oxygenated blood from the pulmonary circuit?
FromTheMoon [43]
The chamber is the left atrium.

The lungs help exchange the deoxygenated blood which are full of wast materials into oxygenated and blood full of nutrients. These oxygenated blood are then transported through the pulmonary vein, the only vein in the body which transports oxygenated blood. These blood are then transported back into the heart, which is the left atrium specifically.

Those blood is then pushed down to the left ventricle, and then pumped to the whole body (except lungs), in order to keep the body functioning by providing oxygen and nutrients for cellular respiration.

Meanwhile, the deoxygenated blood are received by the right atrium, and is then transported back to the lungs for exchange again, through the right ventricle and pulmonary artery.

kumpel [21]

Sporophyte generation  - It is found in both seed and seedless plant. Dominant phase of the life cycle of the seedless  plants is diploid sporophyte while in seed plant  male and female gametes fuses to produces a diploid zygote which develops into a sporophyte.

Pollination - It occurs in seed plants only

Sporophyte contains male and female reproductive structures -  It is found in both seed and seedless plant.

Single fertilization - It occurs in both seed and seedless plant

Sperm cells transported by water to egg cells - seedless plant only
