Answer:

c. imprinting  

Explanation:

Imprinting is the object of study of ethology, which is related to animal behavior. In the early stage of an animal's life, imprinting is an essential and most conducive phase for learning and subsequent development. The two main types of imprinting are sexual and filial.  In sexual imprinting, a young animal learns the traits it seeks in a mate. Affiliate imprinting is the learning of a offspring from his / her parent.

In the case of the salmon fish situation, the need for workers to raise fingerlings (salmon) in stream water during a certain critical period in their early development is an example of imprinting. In this case, imprinting is necessary for the development of this animal in a different environment from the one it was raised.

You are a microbe trying to establish an infection in a host. You are trying to evade the immune system as best you can. Explain
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

A. Natural killer (NK) cells are activated in response to interferons or macrophage and Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and allows direct apoptosis of virus.

Viruses can invade NK cells by inhibiting MHC from reaching the cell surface. Using stimulating the inhibitory receptors and disrupting the activating receptors, viruses can avoid NK cells. MHC act as a ligand of inhibitory receptor, and when bind with inhibitory receptor allows damage to NK cells.

So, if i would be a virus i will use inhibitory receptors stimulation to avoid NK cells.

B. Bacteria are killed by phagocytic immune cell macrophages by engulfing them.

Bacteria avoid macrophages by escaping from phagosome before the lysosome fuses as lysosomal chemical kill the bacteria and some bacteria  prevent acidification of the phagosome.

C. Parasites can avoid macrophages by modulating the host's cell cytoskeleton to block proper phagocytosis.

D. Bacteria can avoid dendritic cells by avoiding  lysosomal degradation and prevent antigen presentation on MHC molecules that will modulate the entrance to DCs.

E. B cells are responsible for producing antibodies. Activation of B-cell  depends on positive and negative signals transmitted through the B-cell receptor (BCR), so genetic polymorphisms and mutations affects the positive and negative signals. If mutation is done showing negative signal, B cell will not the activate and no antibodies will produce.

Our solar system is made up of the Sun and the astronomical bodies that orbit it. But you may be surprised to learn
Elena L [17]

Answer:

Hey there!

This can be explained using the conservation of angular momentum, which the planets get attracted to the sun because of its large size, and massive gravitational pull.

Let me know if this helps, or if you need a further explanation :)
