<h2>Immunity </h2>

Explanation:

Immunological memory of adaptive immunity ensures that vaccination effectively prevents disease

When the adaptive immune system is exposed to a new threat, the specifics of the antigen are memorized so we are prevented from getting the disease again
The concept of immune memory is due to the body’s ability to make antibodies against different pathogens
A vaccination against a virus can be made using either active, but weakened or attenuated virus, or using specific parts of the virus that are not active
Both attenuated whole virus and virus particles cannot actually cause an active infection, they mimic the presence of an active virus in order to cause an immune response, even though there are no real threats present
By getting a vaccination, one is exposing the body to the antigen required to produce antibodies specific to that virus, and acquire a memory of the virus, without experiencing illness

c.Chromatin in the nucleus condenses.

Prophase is the 1st stage. So in Prophase chromatin don't condence. It occurs at anaphase.

notsponge [240]

The technology that was used to produce the results illustrated in the image is gel electrophoresis and it is used for separating deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) fragments.

Gel electrophoresis can be defined as a technology that is used in the laboratory for the separation of mixtures of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), ribonucleic acid (RNA) or other macromolecules such as proteins based on molecular size and charge.

In gel electrophoresis, an electric current is applied to the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) samples so as to create fragments that can be used to compare the various samples of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

The steps involved in gel electrophoresis include the following:

Extraction of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

DNA isolation and amplification.

Addition of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) to the gel wells.

Application of an electric current to the gel.

The separation of DNA bands based on molecular size and charge.

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) bands are stained.

A normal chromosome and its homolog carrying an inversion are given. The dot (•) represents the centromere. Normal: M N • O P Q

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Pericentric, inversion loop.

Explanation:

Chromosomal inversion may be defined as the rearrangement of chromosome that may get reversed and attached. Two main types of inversion are pericentric inversion and paracentric inversion.

The pericentric inversion involves the inversion of chromsome and centromere is involved in this inversion. M Q P O • N R S T , in this case centromere is present and shows the pericentric inversion. The structure that forms during the synapsis is known as inversion loop.

Thus, the answer is pericentric, inversion loop.
