Answer:

<em>FALSE</em>

Explanation:

Fitness = Survival

Organism who are "fittest" survive because they are best adjusted/adapted to their environment. (Explained by Charles Darwin)

<em>So</em><em>,</em><em> </em>while the traits of the adapted parents <em>do</em><em> </em>get passed down throughout generations, "fitness" does not necessarily refer to breeding and passing traits specifically, but rather, who lives and who dies (Natural Selection.)

A response that is uniquely directed against pathogenic bordetella pertussis would involve what component?
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Antibodies

Explanation:

Bordetella pertussis is an obligate human pathogen and is the etiological agent of whooping cough. It is known to be an opportunistic organism.

The pathogenic mechanism of Bordetella pertussis is also known as virulence factor. These virulence factors are known to include adhesins such as filamentous haemagglutinin, fimbriae and pertactin, which allow B. pertussis to bind to ciliated epithelial cells in the upper respiratory tract.

It is known to be the agent of whooping cough, a highly contagious respiratory disease, dramatic for infants and also for elderly and pregnant women.

In this case, the antibodies will be the response that is uniquely directed against the organism. It is said earlier that this organism is an opportunistic one, this means that it causes infection when the immunity is down. So, when the immunity is empowered , it will definitely fight against the organism

Why does the United States purchase oil from other countries and the problem this sometimes causes
defon

Answer:

The oil produced in United States is light and low sulfur content and they do not have proper processing facilities, hence purchase it from other countries.

Explanation:

About 9.93 million barrels per day U.S purchase oil from 86 countries. Because the crude oil present is not homogeneous in nature. It is very light in nature with low sulfur content or may be high,this particular factor depends upon the method of the refining. Most of the oil are being exported by the Saudi Arabia and then comes Russia followed  by Iraq. Despite the collapse in price, U.S. dependence on foreign oil should continue to decrease.
