Answer:

These changes probably would have taken place because of antigenic shift or to a smaller extent because of antigenic drift. The antigenic shift takes place when the segments of the influenza viral genome recombine in various ways, and this leads to major modifications to the proteins present on the surface.  

The individuals generally do not possess immunological memory to this novel strain of the virus, thus, the disease that they encounter can be more extreme in comparison to the infection with strains to which they possess certain immunological memory. The antigenic shift can result in influenza pandemics.

Which of the following best explains why the latitude of a region influences its climate?
Rudik [331]

Answer:

"The latitude of a region determines how much sunlight the area receives" this statement says about why the latitude of a region influences its climate.

Explanation:

The latitude determines the sunlight of the area receives because, the more the latitude the sharper will be angle of the sun's rays which will reach the surface. Means that the rays of the sun are being spread over the broader area. Hence, More the latitude receive will be the less than the lower latitude areas located nearer to the equator. As, we know the sun's ray first strikes over the Earth's surface which is near the equator as these places receive direct solar radiation. At greater latitude the solar radiations gets spread in more area and hence the temperature also reduces.
