The answer is Fish are ectothermic and lay eggs to reproduce, while mammals are endothermic and give live birth to offspring.

Through the elimination process:
* Fish are invertebrates and have scales and paired fins, while mammals are vertebrates and have fur or hair. - Fish are vertebrates!
* Fish are endothermic and have gills, while mammals are ectothermic and have lungs. - Fish are ectothermic (cold-blooded), and mammals are endothermic (warm-blooded)!
* Fish have streamlined bodies and three-chambered hearts, while mammals are bipedal and have four-chambered hearts. - Fish have four chambered hearts and not all mammals are bipedal!

This leaves choice: Fish are ectothermic and lay eggs to reproduce, while mammals are endothermic and give live birth to offspring. All of this is true, but it should be taken into consideration that some fish give live birth and some mammals lay eggs, but this is the most possible choice among all mentioned.

The antibiotic susceptibility testing result of Staphylococcus aureus showed absence of growth on the zones of penicillin, ampic

Sliva [168]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

We define antibiotic susceptibility testing as an evaluation of the ability of antibiotics to inhibit bacterial growth. This test is necessary because certain bacteria may have developed resistance to certain antibiotics.

Hence, if the antibiotic susceptibility testing result of Staphylococcus aureus showed absence of growth on the zones of penicillin, ampicillin, tetracycline and chloramphenicol disk, then it implies that these antibiotics are all largely effective against Staphylococcus aureus and could be used for treatment of Staphylococcus aureus infection.

What type of cells involved in the adaptive immunity response mature in the bone marrow and produce immunoglobins?

Temka [501]

Answer:

A. B cells

Explanation:

B cells are involved in the specific immune response that exhibits specificity, memory and self-non-self distinction. This immune response is also called as adaptive immunity. B cells are produced in the bone marrow. An encounter of B cells with antigen activates them for multiplication.

The activated B cells produce plasma cells which in turn produce specific antibodies that bind to the specific antigens and start the adaptive immune response.
