5 0

Answer:

The thymus plays an important role in deletion of potentially autoreactive T cells. However, the presence of islet-specific T cells in the circulation of type 1 diabetes patients and healthy subjects indicates that the thymus is not capable of efficiently deleting all autoreactive T cells (Mathis and Benoist 2009).

6. Why does meiosis increase genetic variation in the offspring, but mitosis does not? (1 point)
brilliants [131]
Meiosis involves crossing over where chromosomes exchange genetic segments, resulting in different sets of chromosomes. Each time an egg or sperm created, it is different due to this recombination. Mitosis on the other hand is non-sex cells replicating exact copies of themselves which lead to no genetic variation as they aren't involved in producing offspring.

Farah is doing an experiment that involves calculating the speed of a longitudinal wave. What will most likely happen if she inc
vovangra [49]
The speed of a longitudinal wave will not be affected by the temperature of its surrounding. Base on the formula for the wave speed (applicable on longitudinal wave), wave speed ( speed in m.s 2) is equal to the distance of a wave (wavelenth in meter) travel over a unit of time  (seconds) or wave speed is equal to distance of a wave times the frequency (hertz), temperature is not included in calculating the wave speed.
