<span>Now that franks in my body, my non-specific immune responses will automatically target him. once my white blood cells notice him they'll begin their counterattack. the basophils in my bloodstream will release a chemical substance called histamine. Histamines cause inflammation and increased blood flow. This brings neutrophils and monocytes to the site. Neutrophils are attracted by inflammation and infection. Like basophils, they, too, contain granules filled with powerful chemicals that are released when they encounter foreign invaders. They can also gobble up these antigens and kill them before they enter the bloodstream.</span>

- Are living things only the product of their DNA? Why or why'not?
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

No, since DNA does code for certain traits, others are introduced or changed by the environment. For example, some adaptations are not coded in DNA, such as dying hair. According to the gene, hair is to be black, for example, but it can be changed to look pink. Another example is when a person is first born. When they are, some bacteria enter the system of the baby --- mostly good. Then the baby's gut will be different, and the bacteria in the gut are not coded by the DNA. So, living things are not only the product of DNA, as there are extraneous factors that affect living things as well.

Explanation:

Phew, that was long! Hope this helps (:

What is a distinguishing characteristic of a saturated fatty acid
gulaghasi [49]

Answer: Single covalent bond in the long hydrocarbon chain.

Saturated fatty acids are long chains of hydrocarbon ( with single covalent bond) ending with the carboxylic group (-COOH). This means those fatty acids which possess only single bonds in their chemical structure are called as saturated fatty acids. They are densely packed, which makes them solid at room temperature.  

Example- Lauric acid ( present in coconut oil). It has 12 carbon atoms in its chemical structure.
