Answer:

Explanation:

Immunity to a disease is achieved through the presence of antibodies to that disease in a person's system. Antibodies are proteins produced by the body to neutralize or destroy toxins or disease-carrying organisms. Antibodies are disease-specific. Viruses make us sick by killing cells or disrupting cell function. Our bodies often respond with fever (heat inactivates many viruses), the secretion of a chemical called interferon (which blocks viruses from reproducing), or by marshaling the immune system's antibodies and other cells to target the invader. A vaccine works by training the immune system to recognize and combat pathogens, either viruses or bacteria. To do this, certain molecules from the pathogen must be introduced into the body to trigger an immune response. These molecules are called antigens, and they are present on all viruses and bacteria.

Answer:

Is a vicariance event

Explanation:

Even both terms are very similar, there is a difference. A dispersal event occurs when an initial specie travels from one place to another and due to the  environmental factors and the adaptation that need to develop to survive will change into different species. In the other hand, the vicariance, is a process in which there is a specie and it lives in a wide are, but it fragments into groups mainly by the continental drift, so with the passing of time it turns into different characteristics, as the human race.
