Answer:

One of the probable ways to determine how long ago any two species of bacteria diverged from each other is by drawing a phylogenetic tree.

Explanation:

Phylogenetic tree are trees that show the ancestry of two species of interest and the relationship between them.
The idea behind the construction of phylogenetic tree is darwins's "descent with modification theory".
A phylogenetic tree is constructed using the similarities or differences in either physical characteristics, behavorial, or genetic buildup.
Derived traits shared between the different species are the actual data used to construct a phylogenetic tree.

What is the function of macrophages, helper t-cells, cytotoxic t-cells, suppressor t-cells, plasma cells, and memory cells?

Valentin [98]

Macrophages engulf foreign material and destroy them using lysozymes. When presented with antigen by antigen presenting cells, Helper –T cells produce cytokines that activate B cells and triggers the adaptive immune response. T-helper cells determine the specificity of the adaptive response to an antigen. Cytotoxic-T-cells destroys infected cells that have displayed an antigen on the MHC I surface receptors. Suppressor T cells enable negative feedback by downregulating immunity in cases when a foreign antigen is eliminated. It also prevents autoimmunity. Plasma cells are repsosncible for the production of antibodies in the humoral immune response. Memory B and T cells ensure the immunity can remember an infectious agent and therefore can launch a faster response in case of re-infection.
