Meteorologists take careful measurements of daily minimum temperatures, maximum temperatures, and precipitation (rainfall). The

Vinil7 [7]

Months with higher temperature have more rainfall.

Explanation:

From the presented graph, we can see that all three parameters are following a same trend. When the maximum temperatures increase, the minimum temperatures increase too, and the rainfall increases as well. When the maximum temperatures decrease, the minimum temperatures decrease, and the rainfall decreases too.

There is a simple explanation for the connection of higher temperature and more rainfall in Scotland. Scotland is located on an island, thus it is heavily influenced by the sea. When the temperature is higher, the humidity is higher, and in accordance to that more rainfall occurs. When the temperature is lower, the humidity is lower, so there is less rainfall, or instead of rainfall the precipitation can be manifested as snowfall.

Active and passive immunity involves all of the following except receiving mother's antibodies through breast-feeding. exposure

Bingel [31]

Explanation:

Immunity is the ability of an animal to resist infection.

There are two types of immunity in the body; INNATE OR INHERITED IMMUNITY AND ACQUIRED IMMUNITY. Inherited immunity it is the type of immunity that one is born with. It is passed from parent to offspring.

Acquired immunity is immunity to particular infections that is not inherited but has developed in the animal's life as it interacts with its environment. Acquired immunity can develop naturally in which case it is called NATURAL ACQUIRED IMMUNITY OR ARTIFICALLY.

ACTIVE IMMUNITY is the form of acquired immunity in which the body produces its OWN antibodies against infections. While PASSIVE IMMUNITY is the form of acquired immunity in which an individual is PROTECTED AGAINST INFECTION BY RECEIVING ANTIBODIES.

NATURAL ACQUIRED IMMUNITY

when attacked by the same pathogens again, they don't became seriously ill. this is because memory cells are able to recognise the antigens and stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies against the pathogens. This is known as NATURAL ACTIVE ACQUIRED IMMUNITY. It develops when one recovers from an infection.

During pregnancy, the mother passes antibodies across the placenta to the foetus. At birth the baby gets antibodies from the mother through breast milk. This is natural passive acquired immunity.

A gene has 2 alleles, R & B, List the possible genotypes? I also need help with questions 5, 6, 7 and 8 please help! Pls loo

irakobra [83]

Answer:

5.) The possible genotypes should be: RR RB BB ( if the could for the same proteins)

6.) Frequency of R: 0.5

7.)Frequency of R: 0.5

8.)Frequency of R: 0.375

Explanation:

5.) If R and B code for the different forms of the same protein then they are only a few possible out comes

6.) First calculate the total alleles in population

allele R= 40

Allele B=40

total allele = R+B= 40+40

=80

Now to find allele R frequency is:

(Total R alleles) / (Total allele in pop)

40/80=

0.5

7.)Calculate the total alleles

Alleles from for R

RR= 10

R=10x 2= 20

Multiply the value by 2 because there are 2 R alleles present in

RB=20

R=20

Number doesn't change there is only 1 R allele

Total R=20+20

=40

Alleles For B

BB=10

B=10×2

=20

Same thing here, two B alleles together so multiple by 2

RB=20

B=20

Total B= 20+20

=40

Total alleles in pop add

40+40

=80

Frequency of R

Total of R/Total Alleles

=40/80

=0.5

8.)Repeat the same thing in 7 but use different numbers

RR=10

R=10x2

=20

RB=10

R=10

Total R= 20+10

=30
