Answer: alternative A.

Explanation: Fixism was a current theory during biology history, and it stated that species were always like they are at the present time, not being able to change during time. Darwin's evolutionary theory, developed at the 19th century, said the opposite: species were able to change and they still do it. One way to prove it was <u>studying fossils and its morfologycal characteristics in order to link them to more recent species</u>, and <u>establish a taxonomical connection between them</u>. The study of fossils is know as paleontology, and it this way it changed the naturalist's views.

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Paleontology studies fossils, which show morphological modifications as compared to their living relatives. Furthermore, fossils may show series of gradual modification or a series of related species or genera. All this is inconsistent with the view that species are perfect or permanent, but rather change is the only constant.

How might a mutation cause a beneficial change in a phenotype of an organism? (give an example)​
Maurinko [17]

The physical appearance of the biochemical characteristic of an organism as result of the interaction of phenotype; some mutation has the positive effect on the organism in which they occur.

<u>Explanation:</u>

They are called beneficial mutation. Phenotype of the organism lead to new development of proteins which help the organisms to adopt their own environment. Beneficial mutation are essential for evaluation to occur.

Phenotype stretch the DNA without any function; the mutations occur in a protein coating region, but it end up the process by not affecting sequence of the protein.

Example of phenotype are:

Observable characteristics including behaviour, biochemical properties; the phenotype benefits such as HIV resistance, lactose resistance.

Drag each tile to the correct box. The flu vaccine activates adaptive immunity. How does this occur? Antibodies are quickly prod
mestny [16]

Answer:

The correct order would be:

A vaccine introduces a weakened flu virus into the body.

                                                        ↓

The immune system identifies antigens on the weakened flu virus.

                                                        ↓

Antibodies are produced, which bind to the weakened flu virus and signal immune cells to destroy it.

                                                        ↓

The actual flu virus enters the body, and lymphocytes recognize the antigens.

                                                        ↓

Antibodies are quickly produced and allow the body to fight off the infection.

Vaccination or immunization is the process which helps in developing the immunity (adaptive) against a particular pathogen or microorganism.

It includes the administration of antigen, weakened or heat-killed microorganism (such as flu virus) into the patients body. Body's immune system produces naive B and T cells to eliminate the antigen.

This encounter enables the immune system to produce memory B and T cells against that particular pathogen.

In future, whenever the same antigen enters the body, the immune system gets activated quickly due to the presence of memory cells. It enables the body to produce more effective secondary response against the pathogen.

Mafic lava tends to have low silica content. Based on this, which of the following statements about mafic lava is most likely tr
sashaice [31]

Answer:

A. It contains fewer volatile gases.

Explanation:

Mafic lava have a composition of about 45-55% silica with high amount of Fe, Mg, Ca.

The silica content is quite low compared to those of granitic magma whose silica content can reach up to about 60%.

What determines the viscosity of magma is basically the silica content of the magma and the temperature of the magma. Viscosity is the resistance to flow.

The higher the silica content, the lower the viscosity and the higher the amount of volatile gases. Such type of magma is the granitic magma. Granitic magma due to their viscosity flows slowly.

The lower the silica content, the higher the viscosity and the lesser the presence of volatile gases in them. Such an example is Mafic magma. Mafic magma flows very slowly with low amount of dissolved gases.
