Antibodies bind to the antigens on the surface of disease agents. If some sort of fluorescent tag is added to the antibody it would make the disease agent be identifiable either under a microscope or with other Instruments because it would bind to the antigens on the surface of the disease agents and make them glow a certain color. I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and it has helped you.

ANSWER EXPLANATION:

According to the question darkly pigmentation only occurs when their is high level of UV radiations. High level of UV radiations are also responsible for Vitamin D production.

People with lightly pigmented means that there environment has low level of UV radiations which are the requirement of Vitamin D production. Hence due to low UV radiations peoples with light pigmentation's are also be at higher risk of vitamin D deficiency

kherson [118]
<span>This is true. Extension is the opposite of flexion, they're like antonyms, so hyperextension would be an extension even beyond that, or in this case, it would be in the opposite direction of the flexion of a joint. That is why the answer to this question should be true.</span>

Biologists sometimes say that “natural selection depends on the specific environment where a species lives.” What does this stat
denis23 [38]

Answer: Natural selection is one of the forces of evolution and the enviroment where the species lives is the selection agent. For example, suppose a mosquitoes population in a environment free from insecticides, in this environment there's a high frequency of non-resistant mosquitoes because the environment is not  exerting any pressure on the resistence trait. But when the environment changes and we use a insecticide upon the mosquitoes population, the populations changes because the non-resistant ones die but those resistant survive and beggin to reproduce more effectively. That's natural selection, differences in survival and reproduction between individuals with different phenotypes (traits) and this differences depend of environmental changes.
