First we must describe how immunity works. Immunity works by recognition of the antigen by macrophages or dendritic cells (antigen presenting cells) then presenting it to T cells and T cells will work to destroy the organisms with the specific antigen. B cells can also recognize antigens then secrete antibodies to combat organisms with the specific antigen. In the case of flu, or influenza, the genetic material of the virus mutates so often that the antibodies produced by the body against a certain strain of influenza will not work after some time because of the mutation of the virus.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Nephrons in birds, mammals, and reptiles are all extremely similar, more so than other structures in the bodies of different species, solidifying the relatedness through similarity.

Explanation:

Birds can be said to have "mammal-like" nephrons from the number of loops and overall structure of their kidneys, which, although they look very different, serve the same purpose and do it in largely the same way. Reptiles also have mammal-like nephrons, and it can be assumed that this evolutionary trait was kept because the specific structure of the nephrons is generally the most efficient.
