Explanation:
<em>Immunological memory</em> is the property of the immune system to store information about a stimulus so it can mount an effective response if it encounters the same stimulus again being this second response quicker and stronger even after years since the first encounter.
This kind of response is dependent on many subpopulations within T and B lymphocytes and NK cells. When encountering an antigen, B cells recognize it by membrane antibody specifically binding to the antigen and then being activated to expand rapidly with their progeny clones differentiating into plasma and memory B cells, these last ones have a long life span to remain in the body, ready when another encounter with the same stimulus occurs, this is how the basis for effective immunizations happens.
I hope you find this information useful! Good luck!
Complete question:
In a separate study, 68 rock pocket mice were collected from four different, widely separated areas of dark lava rock. One collecting site was in Sonora, Mexico. The other three were in Chihuahua, Mexico. Dr. Nachman and colleagues observed no significant differences in the color of the rocks in the four locations sampled. However, the dark-colored mice from the three Chihuahua locations were slightly darker than the dark-colored mice from the Sonora population. The entire Mc1r gene was sequenced in all 68 of the mice collected. The mutations responsible for the dark fur color in the Sonora mice were absent from the three different populations of Chihuahua mice. No Mc1r mutations were associated with dark fur color in the Chihuahua populations. These findings suggest that adaptive dark coloration has occurred at least twice in the rock pocket mouse and that these similar phenotypic changes have different genetic bases.
How does this study support the concept that natural selection is not random?
Answer:
The study supports the concept that natural selection is not random because in different areas with the same or very similar environmental characteristics, the same phenotype was produced by different types of mutations.
Explanation:
All of the sampled animals are inhabiting dark substrate. Probably animals needed to camouflage to survive. Natural selection must have driven them to produce dark color, similar to the substrate color. So animals from the different regions suffered different mutations that drove them to have almost the same dark fur color. The environmental condition is favoring the same phenotype.

Answer & explanation:
Non-native species may be animals, plants or microorganisms introduced into an ecosystem of which they are not originally part, but where they adapt and come to dominate, harming natural processes and native organisms.
When a new species is introduced into an environment other than its own, it may compete with others, prey heavily on some species, over-breed and even cause disease.
Therefore, it can be concluded that this action may cause the destruction of some species, directly affecting the balance of that ecosystem.
The answer is; D
A balanced equation is one that observes the law of thermodynamics on the conservation of matter and energy. Matter or energy cannot be created or destroyed but can only be transformed.
In this equation, therefore, the number of elements on the right side of the equation should match those of the left side. Of the choice equations, this is a balanced one; 6CO2 + 6H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6O2 and one that reflects the process of photosynthesis.
