Answer:

The given statement is false.

Explanation:

In ecology, one of the means of measuring diversity is Simpson's Diversity Index. This index is generally used to count the biodiversity of a habitat. The index considers the number of the present species, and at the same time each species' abundance.

Simpson's index denoted by D determines the possibility that two characters selected abruptly from a sample will fit to a similar species or some classification other than species. When the value of D is 0, it signifies infinite diversity, while when the value is 1 it denotes no diversity. Thus, the bigger the value the lower will be the diversity.

A host organism needs time, often days, to mount an immune response against a new antigen, but memory cells permit a rapid respo
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The answer is <em><u>D. </u></em>

Explanation:

Viruses can evade the processing and presentation of antigens, for example by interfering with the expression of MHC class I proteins, although this increases their susceptibility to be detected by natural killer cells (NK). However, some members of the herpesvirus, papillomavirus, retrovirus, poxvirus and flavivirus families have also developed strategies to escape the attack of NK cells and promote their survival, inhibiting cell apoptosis. Finally, some pathogens often change surface antigens frequently, as in the case of influenza viruses (orthomyxovirus).

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) affects CD4 + T cells and degrades the host's ability to counterattack with a strong cell-mediated immune response. There are so many tactics of immune evasion used by HIV, which have so far hindered the development of an effective vaccine.
