Answer:
The best explanation for the increased lymphocyte levels in Kaya is that she was not tissue typed prior to her surgery, and her body is mounting an immune response.
Explanation:
When performing an organ transplant, it must be verified whether the organ to be transplanted is compatible -by tissue typing- with the recipient, since it is recognized as a foreign body by the body and can be rejected.
One of the immunological responses to organ rejection is called cell rejection, involving T-helper and cytotoxic lymphocytes.
<u>It is very likely that in Kaya's case the tests have not been performed correctly, and she is experiencing rejection of the organ she received</u>. The progressive increase in lymphocytes may be an indication of this.
The other options are not possible because:
- <em>Administering </em><u><em>antibiotics</em></u><em> should not raise lymphocyte levels.
</em>
- <em>There is no evidence of </em><u><em>antigen </em></u><em>attack.
</em>
- <u><em>Immunosuppressant drugs</em></u><em> do not increase lymphocyte count.</em>
Answer:
Higher oxygen levels means animals can grow larger and still maintain the supply of oxygen to their muscles. Falkowski and colleagues calculated fluctuations in the atmosphere's oxygen levels from cores of deep-sea rocks dating back 205 million years.
Answer:
A. the heterozygote advantage
Explanation:
Heterozygote advantage is the condition where the heterozygous individual has higher relative fitness than both homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive individual. This means that the heterozygote individual has higher chances of surviving than both the homozygous counterparts. Sickle cell anemia is a recessive inherited disorder in which oxygen carrying hemoglobin has an abnormal structure. Hence, the resultant RBCs are not spherical but have crescent sickle shape. The oxygen carrying capacity of such RBCs is drastically reduced but they are unaffected by malarial parasite due to their abnormal structure.
- A person with both the recessive genes for sickle cell would not be able to survive due to insufficient oxygen transport in body.
- A person with both the dominant genes would be free of sickle cell anemia but in case of malaria would not be able to survive as the normal RBCs would be hijacked by the parasite.
- A hetrerozygote would survive both in malaria and sickle cell condition since he has enough normal RBCs for oxygen transport but also has sickle cell RBCs which are unaffected by malarial parasite.
The term that describes the sheep in this scenario is prey, consumer and primary consumer.
A. Prey
B. Consumer
C. Primary consumers
<u>Explanation:</u>
It is given here that the sheep graze on the grass. Thus sheep is a consumer. When we get into the details of trophic levels in the ecosystem we can understand that autotrophs are the producers of an ecosystem. The organisms that feed on autotrophs are primary consumers.
Here grass is the producer and sheep is the primary consumer since it feeds on the grass. It is also given here that the ranchers have to keep the sheep away from predators. This makes the sheep a prey too. The animals that feed on primary consumers are called secondary consumers.
