3 0

Normal colour vision (trichromacy) refers to vision that uses all three types of light cones. People with defected trichromatic vision will be colour blind to some extent and these conditions are called anomalous trichromacy. Three types anomalous trichromacy ( one type of cone perceives light slightly) :

1. Protanomaly – phenotype: reduced sensitivity to red light

2. Deuteranomaly - phenotype: reduced sensitivity to green light

3. Tritanomaly – phenotype: reduced sensitivity to blue

People can also have color blindess as the result of mutation, when loss of function of one cone occurs. This condition is called dichromacy. If there is complete color blindness or monochromacy, the person can’t distinguish any color from grey.

Color blindness is an inherited genetic disorder resulted from mutations on the X chromosome.

Given what we know, we can confirm that the tree with the fungi will be more likely to survive.

<h3>Why would this tree survive over the other one?</h3>

This has to do with the benefit from the symbiotic relationship established with the fungi. In exchange for nutrients to live, the fungi offer the tree protection from pathogens such as the one it is being injected with.

Therefore, we can confirm that the tree with the fungi will be more likely to survive.

What type of cell helps to stimulate b cells to produce antibodies?

valentinak56 [21]

The correct answer is helper T cells.
<span>The helper T cells are one of the main cells of the adaptive immune system. Their role is to help the activity of other immune cells by releasing T cell cytokines and they are required for almost all adaptive immune responses. The helper T cells activate B cells to secrete antibodies, stimulate macrophages to destroy ingested pathogens, and help in activation of cytotoxic T cells to kill infected target cells.</span>

___ is a type of physical weathering

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

There are two main types of physical weathering: <u>Freeze-thaw</u> occurs when water continually seeps into cracks, freezes, and expands, eventually breaking the rock apart. <u>Exfoliation</u> occurs as cracks develop parallel to the land surface a consequence of the reduction in pressure during uplift and erosion.
