Answer:

Antigenic variation is the change occurs in antigenic property of the pathogen. In antigenic variation, a pathogen does changes in its surface protein or carbohydrate so that the immune system of the host is not able to recognize the pathogen.  

This antigenic variation is very much beneficial to pathogens because it gives advantage to the pathogen to infect the host again and again without being recognized by immune cells and to increase in number.

A recombination of avian and human influenza virus in a host like pig created a new version of the influenza virus which became very endemic worldwide is a classic example of antigenic shift. M. tuberculosis evades immune response by doing antigenic shift it's membrane and cause tuberculosis.

how can scientists accurately compare atmospheric composition today with atmospheric composition thousands of years ago?
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

They accurately compare the current atmosphere with the previous one, by assessing the amount of atmospheric gases present today, with the amount of atmospheric gases trapped in ice cores that they believe are millennial, that is, they have existed for thousands of years ago.

Explanation:

As we know, it is difficult to compare current characteristics of the planet earth with characteristics that the planet had in the past, thousands of years ago. This is because the ancient characteristics on earth are not fully available to be analyzed, since most of them have been modified over time.

To do this, scientists need to find factors that may have existed thousands of years ago and assess whether these factors have any account of the characteristics of the earth. In the case of atmospheric characteristics, it is common for scientists to compare the current atmosphere with the atmosphere of thousands of years ago, with the assessment of the amount of atmospheric gases trapped in ancient ice cores, with the amount of atmospheric gases present in the atmosphere today.
