Answer:

antibodies being produced to fight off a pathogen inside the body

Explanation:

Specific immune responses, also known as the adaptive immune system are ways the body fights against pathogens. The body is able to identify cells that are unique to it. When pathogens bearing an unknown identity enter the body, antibodies are released to attack the antigens on the surface of these pathogens.

The body usually develops this immunity after a previous attack by the pathogen. Lymphocytes known as the B and T cells are released by the immune system t engulf the pathogens.

You have a 15kb plasmid. EcoRI cuts the plasmid into 7kb and 8kb pieces, and BamHI cuts the plasmid into 1kb and 14kb pieces. If
Harman [31]

Answer:

a. Bands at 1kb, 6kb and 8kb

Explanation:

The EcoRI and BamHI are the restriction enzymes which cut the DNA sequence especially a plasmid at specific sites called the restriction sites.

The restriction enzymes produces bands of specific length therefore these restriction enzymes are used to estimate the approximate length of the DNA.

In the given question, the

1. EcoRI- produces two strands of 7 kb and 8 kb

2. BamHI- produces two strands of 1kb and 14kb

This shows that the length of DNA sequence is 15kb

But when the DNA strand are digested with both the enzymes simultaneously then it will produce three bands as:

i) 14 kb can be broken down in 2 bands of 6 kb and 8 kb

ii) 1 kb band is already produced by the Bam HI.

This shows that 1+6+8= 15 kb

Thus, Option-A is correct.

Which description properly describes the plant structures involved in photosynthesis?<br><br>​
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

C Phloem transports glucose to the plant, and stomata release oxygen

Explanation:

A Stomata take in water,sunlight, and carbon dioxide and release oxygen  - this is false, the stomata are for gas exchange (taking in carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen). They do not take in water and sunlight

B Phloem transports water, stomata take in carbon dioxide, and chlorophyll absorbs sunlight - this is false, while it is true that stomata take in carbon dioxide, and chlorophyll absorbs sunlight. phloem does not transport water, that is the xylem.

C Phloem transports glucose to the plant, and stomata release oxygen - this is true. Stomata takes in carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, and phloem transport the products of photosynthesis throughout the plant

D Xylem takes in water, sunlight and carbon dioxide and releases oxygen - this is false. Xylem does take in water, but not sunlight, carbon dioxide or oxygen

Why are zebra mussels harmful to the lake​
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

The zebra mussels also outcompete the natives for food and space, and because of their fast reproduction can quickly overwhelm a water system.

Explanation:

The feeding habits of zebra mussels can also have a drastic impact on an infested lake. Zebra mussels are filter feeders that siphon particles of plankton from the water.
