Explain why mutation and natural selection make developing new flu vaccines every year necessary

1 answer:

7 0

Let's just say that everyvyear, many people either get the vaccination, or the flu. These people are left immune to the strain of flu that they were vaccinated/infected with so the number of people who can get and pass on that form of flu (think of these people as that flu strain's "habitat") is reduced. If some of that flu mutates sufficiently that the immune systems of those previously infected vaccinated people no longer recognize it, then it's habitat is expanded back to the original size again.

Hope this helped :)
Have a great day

Answer:

<u>They produce the materials needed by the sperm to travel to the egg</u>

Explanation:

Seminal vesicles are glands located near the distal end of the vas deferens. They are responsible mainly for the secretion of seminal fluid as the sperm are moved along towards the ejaculatory duct. The seminal fluid contains a substance which stimulates the sperms. The seminal fluid also contains simple sugars e.g. fructose which provide nourishment for the sperms.

a_sh-v [17]

<span>When sediments move and settle somewhere, they are being deposited. When, over a long time, layers and layers of sediments get deposited on top of each other, the weight of the top layers presses down on the bottom layers, forming them into rock called sedimentary rock. The oldest layers are on the bottom, and the youngest layers are on the top. Because sediments sometimes include once-living organisms, sedimentary rock often contains a lot of fossils. </span>
