Explain why mutation and natural selection make developing new flu vaccines every year necessary

Biology
1 answer:
Serhud [2]3 years ago
7 0
Let's just say that everyvyear, many people either get the vaccination, or the flu. These people are left immune to the strain of flu that they were vaccinated/infected with so the number of people who can get and pass on that form of flu (think of these people as that flu strain's "habitat") is reduced. If some of that flu mutates sufficiently that the immune systems of those previously infected vaccinated people no longer recognize it, then it's habitat is expanded back to the original size again.

Hope this helped :)

lukranit [14]

Answer:

The best answer from the list of options is option D (They are colorless and feed on other, smaller cells)

Explanation:

Euglenas have cells that contain chloroplasts, which means they can make their food like plants through photosynthesis, and when it is dark where they can't get sunlight they can also make food by engulfing their prey through the plasma membrane and absorb them. Euglenas are heterotrophic since they call also feed on smaller cells. Their whip-like tail when viewed under the microscope, is colorless. However, the chloroplasts make them appear green and they can also come in red color.
