Answer: It is necessary for the immune system to clearly distinguish foreign cells and proteins from those made by the body so that the immune system will be able to fight foreign cells and proteins and eliminate them from the body.

Explanation: The ability of the immune system to clearly distinguish foreign cells and proteins from those made by the body helps the body to identify pathogens that invade the body and trigger appropriate immune response to eliminate the foreign cells and proteins.

When the immune system of the body fails to distinguish foreign cells and proteins from those made by the body, the body launches an attack against its cells, that is the immune system triggers an autoimmune response in which attacks are launched against the cells of the body and destroy them. This condition in which the immune system recognizes the cells of the body as non-self and launches an attack against them is known as autoimmunity. Autoimmunity is the major cause of most degenerative diseases such as type I diabetes mellitus.

Organisms are classified as eukaryotes or prokaryotes based on their basic body structure. Which of the following is true of org
Len [333]

Question 9: The right answer is B (the second one)

The two major types of cellular, prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms.

* Prokaryotes are identified with bacteria: most live as single-cell organisms but some bacteria associate in a chain. Prokaryotes have their DNA in the cytoplasm of the cell.

* Eukaryotes have a nucleus, a compartment separated from the rest of the cellular contents, which contains the DNA.

Question 17: The right answer is incomplete dominance.

Incomplete-dominated genetic action is a type of genetic action where one of the alleles outweighs the other in the production of qualitative phenotypes, without the dominant allele completely overshadowing the heterozygous recessive allele. Two copies of the dominant allele are required to produce the dominant phenotype. Since the recessive allele can perform its function at the heterozygous stage, this genotype produces a phenotype (the heterozygous phenotype) which differs little from the dominant phenotype.

In our case the phenomenon of incomplete dominance gave a pink color (between white and crimson) instead of crimson color when the white flowering plant was mixed with the crimson flower plant.

Question 19: The right answer is Speciation occurs gradually.

Speciation is a term that means the formation of new species.

Gradualism is an evolutionary theory according to which new species occur by gradual transformation of ancestral species, by evolution.

These transformations are slow and regular. Otherwise expressed: evolutionary theory according to which speciation is gradually effected by small successive changes over long periods.
