Answer:

protein

Explanation:

Antibodies are primarily<u> Y shaped proteins</u> which are <u>secreted by B lymphocytes (plasma cells specifically).</u> Antibodies are also known as immunoglobulins and provide us immunity. Apart from protein, carbohydrate is also present in antibodies. Antibodies <u>interact with antigens </u>which can be a pathogen or any other foreign molecule. The<u> interaction of antibody and antigen </u>leads to<u> antigen-antibody complex formation</u> which further leads to either <u>agglutination or precipitation reaction.</u> Due to agglutination or precipitation reaction, the <u>pathogen or foreign molecule is cleared from our body. </u>

There are <u>five types</u> of antibodies (immunoglobulins) named as <u>IgG, IgM, IgA, IgE and IgD.</u>

Which variable is likely to undergo the largest change in value resulting from a mutation that introduces a new allele into a po
dsp73

Answer:

b. average heterozygosity

Explanation:

From the available options:

a. nucleotide variability

b. average heterozygosity

c. average number of loci

d. geographic variability

Nucleotide variability represents a form of genetic variation that occur as a result of difference in nucleotide sequence of deoxy ribonucleic acid.

The locus is a region on the chromosome where genes are located. Average number of locus thus refers to total number of loci per total number of individuals in a population.

Geographic variability refers to difference in genetic traits across the various geographical distribution of a population.

Average heterozygosity is the percentage or proportion of heterozygous individuals for a trait within a population. It is a common measure of genetic variation in a population.

When a mutation occur within a population and this leads to the introduction of a new allele at a locus for which some individuals within the population are homozygous, it will directly affect the average heterozygosity of the population because more individuals will lose their homozygosity and become heterozygous.

<em>The correct option is b.</em>

Answer:

Bet

Explanation:

1. The radiaton from the X-ray waves can be harmful

2. Lack of resources comes on part of both the provider as well as the patient as the provider may not necessarily have the appropriate equipment or updated technology yet to detect such conditions such as in smaller town hospitals or even the patient may not have the financial or transportation resources in order to obtain these. Another one but while being a little subjective I think could even be a lack of knowledge on both of our parts as well as healthcare providers don't always have all the answers to everything let alone the resources as mentioned earlier or even perhaps the patient doesn't know the earlier signs and symptoms of certain cancers and even more so some cancers are VERY difficult to detect, especially until its too late.

3. X-ray imaging creates pictures of the inside of your body. The images show the parts of your body in different shades of black and white. This is because different tissues absorb different amounts of radiation. Calcium in bones absorbs x-rays the most, so bones look white

4. An X-Ray will be neccesary, ultrasounds exam organs while x-rays examine bones

Describe the relationship between evolution, genetic mutation, and the environment. ​
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The meaningful differences between organisms in a population are genetic. Variations in the genome of members of a population arise through mutation. Occasionally, a mutation occurs in an individual that is beneficial, that helps that organism be better able to survive and repoduce in its current environment.
