1: For example, rhinovirus has over 100 different serotypes. Now, the good news is that you can't get ill from the same virus serotype right after getting better, due to the fact that you'll have developed antibodies which help to protect your immune system for a little while.

2:Most children in the United States are now vaccinated against measles virus; before vaccination was widespread, most were naturally exposed to this virus and suffered from an acute, unpleasant, and potentially dangerous viral illness. Whether through vaccination or infection, children exposed to the virus acquire long-term protection from measles. The same is true of many other acute infectious diseases: this state of protection is a consequence of immunological memory.

The basis of immunological memory has been hard to explore experimentally. Although the phenomenon was first recorded by the ancient Greeks and has been exploited routinely in vaccination programs for over 200 years, it is just now becoming clear that memory reflects a persistent population of specialized memory cells that is independent of the continued persistence of the original antigen that induced them. This mechanism of maintaining memory is consistent with the finding that only individuals who were themselves previously exposed to a given infectious agent are immune, and that memory is not dependent on repeated exposure to infection as a result of contacts with other infected individuals. This was established by observations made on remote island populations, where a virus such as measles can cause an epidemic, infecting all people living on the island at that time, after which the virus disappears for many years. On reintroduction from outside the island, the virus does not affect the original population but causes disease in those people born since the first epidemic. This means that immunological memory need not be maintained by repeated exposure to infectious virus

Which is the result of telophase 1 and cytokinesis
oee [108]

Answer:

The result of Telophase 1 and Cytokinesis is two haploid daughter cells that are genetically different from the original cell.

Explanation:

Telophase I. At each pole, during this stage, there is a complete haploid set of chromosomes (but each chromosome still has two sister chromatids). A cleavage furrow appears, and by the end of this stage the parent cell has divided into two daughter cells. This separation of the cytoplasm is called cytokinesis.
