Biology

3 0

1) Antibodies are produced into the blood and mucosa, there they bind to and inactivate substances like pathogens and toxins. It's pretty much neutralization.

2) Antibodies activate the complement system to destroy bacterial cells by lysis (punching holes in the cell wall).

3) Antibodies facilitate phagocytosis of other substances by phagocytic cells (opsonization).

Which mechanism(s) are responsible for introducing new alleles into a population's gene pool?
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer: The right answer is -

A) Gene flow

Explanation:

Gene flow is a process of gene migration or the transfer of gene variant (also called allele, which is responsible for genetic variation in population) from one population to another population.

As a consequence of gene migration, new alleles are introduced or added in the already existing population, thereby increasing genetic diversity.

Thus, option A) is the right answer.
