Explain how vaccinations can protect you from infectious diseases such as measles and chicken pox.

Biology
1 answer:
alina1380 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Look at explanation.

Explanation:

So, most vaccines help us against infectious diseases by inserting a weak or dead version of the virus. This makes your body create antibodies to fight against the virus. So most vaccines prepare your body to be able to TRY and fight the virus by giving you a small taste of what its like.

Hope this helps(would be grateful if you give this brainliest. I need for the lvl up...)

Examine the weather map. The arrows are pointing to the line with triangles. What does the line indicated by the arrows most lik
kvasek [131]

The correct answer is - a front.

On this image, the lines are representing a front, and since the signs are marked with blue color, it means that it is a cold front. The fronts are advancing masses of air. In this case, we have a cold front, thus we have advancing cold air masses in the western part of the US, and in the Great Lakes region and the northeastern part of the country. This means that these areas will be affected by colder air masses, that will bring in higher air pressure, colder weather, and cold winds from the direction from which these cold fronts are coming.

Leni [432]

Answer: All the above options are correct about the characteristics of Lumbriculus variegatus.

Explanation:

Lumbriculus variegatus also called the black worm belongs to the phylum Annelida and is used by biologists to illustrate:

-blood vessel pulsations,

-swimming reflex,

-peristaltic crawling behavior,

-giant nerve fiber action potentials.

These studies where carried out on them due to the characteristics they possess. These includes:

-its blood circulates in a closed circulatory system

-Freshwater worm found throughout North America and Europe

-Prefers the shallow habitats found at the edges of ponds, lakes, or marshes

-Feeds on decaying vegetation and microorganisms.

Consider a species of sparrow that originally lived only in Alaska but recently expanded its range through North America, then C
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

North America is the one with the highest heterozygosity frequency for most loci, followed by Central America, and finally, South America with the lowest heterozygosity level.  

Explanation:

Some different forces or mechanisms might alter H-W equilibrium and lead to evolution, such as mutation, natural selection, migration, and genetic drift.

In the exposed example, we have a species of sparrow that migrates from Alaska to North America. Migration is unidirectional, which means that the movement occurs in only one direction: from Alaska to North America. We should also consider that the first immigrants colonized the area for the first time, meaning that there was not a receiving population of the same species already established. Finally, we need to consider that Alaska´s environmental conditions are very different from North America´s environmental conditions.

When a species arrives at a new place, it needs to adapt. The establishment and dispersion of the species in the new area depend on previous adaptation. So, when the firsts sparrow individuals arrived in North America, they faced new environmental conditions that acted as selective pressures that drove to the occurrence of mutations. A mutation implicates a stable and inheritable change in the genetic material. A mutation introduces changes, new alleles in the population, variability. But mutation rates are very low and have no evolutive direction, so they need another force to increase or decrease the mutant allelic frequencies. Natural selection benefits new advantageous alleles and transmits them to new generations changing their relative frequencies. <em>So, sparrows arrive in North America, mutated, and natural selection favored the beneficial mutations leading to a better adaptation to the environment.</em> This means that the heterozygosity level in this new recent population is very high.

As animals adapt to the new habitat and have better dispersal genes, they get to disperse even more. So they start new migration south, to Central America and South America. Again, they are moving to new regions with new conditions, and to establish they need to suffer new adaptations. But remember that we are talking about a recent event in time. Probably the animals migrating south are just a few.  They have not spent enough time yet in the new area, to adapt to the new environment and to include new genes into their population. What is even more, as they are a small new population moving south, they are more vulnerable to genetic drift events. Genetic drift acts on a population decreasing the variability between individuals, hence, decreasing the heterozygosity. <em>This small population suffers low mutation, has not enough time to establish, and is more vulnerable to genetic drift events.</em> The heterozygosity level is probably inferior to North America´s one.

Comparing the three areas, we could say that North America is the one with the highest heterozygosity frequency, followed by Central America, and finally, South America with the lowest level of heterozygosity.

If the characteristic is eye color, what could be two different phenotypes?
Feliz [49]
The phenotype is just a characteristic/trait. 

For instance Brown and Green are phenotypes of eye color. 

This can also be used in Punnet Squares, and could be displayed as B and G. 
B equaling dominant Brown, and G = dominant Green, vice versa to g and b where they are recessive.
