Answer:
Pioneer species are hardy species which are the first to colonize previously biodiverse steady-state ecosystems. Some lichens grow on rocks without soil, so may be among the first form of life. The example includes bacteria, fungi, and lichens.
Answer:
8
Explanation:
Mitosis, a type of cellular division, involves the division into two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell. They are genetically identical in the sense that the daughter cells contain the exact same DNA sequence as the parent cell and also, the chromosome number does not change.
In this case, a cell is said to have a diploid number (2n) of 8 chromosomes. It will therefore, undergo mitosis to produce two daughter cells with 8 chromosomes each. For this reason, mitosis is called MULTIPLICATION DIVISION.
.......is secreted into the bloodstream, whereas _____ is secreted into mucus such as gastrointestinal fluid, colostrum, saliva, tears, and sweat:
a. Monomeric IgM; pentameris IgM
b. Monomeric IgA; dimeric IgA
c. Monomeric IgA; dimeric IgM
d. Dimeric IgA; monomeric IgA
Answer:
b. Monomeric IgA; dimeric IgA
Explanation:
IgA is a class of antibodies that are found mainly in body secretions. In sweat, tears, saliva, mucus, breast milk, and gastrointestinal secretions, IgA is secreted as a monomeric antibody. Smaller quantities of this class of antibodies are also present in blood and lymph. However, IgA is present in a dimeric form in the bloodstream. It makes up 10–15% of all antibodies in the blood. The main function of this class of antibodies is to give localized protection of mucous membranes against bacteria and viruses.
