Answer: What is expected to happen is that the secondary immune system acts immediately against the virus.

Explanation:

When a virus first enters our body, in order to defend itself, the body must first recognize what the antigen is in order to fight it through <u>antibodies</u>. Once it does it will keep a memory of it that it can use if this virus enters the body again. <u>This will be done through the secondary immune system</u>.

As the body already recognizes the antigen, it knows how to fight it immediately, generating a thousand times the amount of antibodies generated the first time.

Thanks to its memory cells, the virus will remain much less time in the body.

When colorblind women married a male with normal vision, all their daughters have normal vision and all their sons are colorblin
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

X-linked recessive

Explanation:

The trait is a sex-linked trait because the daughters are not colorblind, but the sons are. We know this its recessive because the daughters have inherited the mother's X chromosome that has the colourblindness trait, but are not colorblind because the father's X does not have the colourblindness trait. The sons are colourblind because they inherited the X from their mother with the colourblindnese trait and a Y from their father. The colourblindness trait or normal vision trait is not carried on the Y, so the mother's X chromosome's trait is expressed.

Sorry if it's confusing i tried my best to explain it
