After an initial infection of the measles virus, B-cells recognize the measles virus in your body. How is this helpful in human immune response? (SC.912. L.14.52)
ws
O The B-Cells transfer this recognition to T-cells, which will then devour the viruses
o The B-cells use this recognition to defend the body against the B-cells more quickly recognize and respond to any other virus that invades the body
O The B-Cells more quickly recognize the response to any other virus that invades the body
O The B-cells produce antibodies more quickly if the measles virus is encountered again

Scientists analyzed data collected over a period of years in a game reserve in South Africa to test the hypothesis that competition with lions limits the abundance of leopards in the same community. The game reserve encompasses a variety of habitats, from open grassland to wooded areas around rivers and streams. It contains most of the indigenous mammal species and an adequate availability of their prey. For the most part, the leopards and lions show similar habitat preferences in the reserve.

The mass of the average lion is about three times that of the average leopard. The scientists analyzed several factors that might influence the abundance of each population, including the sizes of the animals preyed on by each species

Size of Prey Animal Percent of Leopards’ Prey (±2SEx¯) Percent of Lions’ Prey (±2SEx¯)
Small 34 ± 2 3 ± 1
Medium 63 ± 3 23 ± 2
Large 3 ± 1 36 ± 4
Very large 0 38 ± 3

Because competition with lions might affect the population size of the leopards, the scientists also analyzed data on the lion and leopard population sizes in the game reserve (Figure 1).

Required:
Describe what scientists mean when they refer to an ecological community such as that shared by the leopards and lions.

In the ELISA procedure, first a protein sample is immobilized to a plastic well. Then, the antibody to the protein of interest is added, incubated, and the excess is washed out. Next, the detection antibody (which binds to the primary antibody) is added, incubated, and the excess is washed out. The last step is to add the detection dye (which binds to the detection antibody) to the wells and allow it to incubate. What do you predict the result would look like if you added the detection antibody first, then the antibody to the protein of interest

Geologists believe that the Earth's layers vary in depth, pressure and temperature. Since pressure and

The Galapagos pink land iguana, Conolophus marthae (C. marthaes, is native to
only one of the Galapagos Islands. its entire range is currently limited to Wolf
Volcano on Isabella Island. The iguana was first discovered this island in 1986
Genetic studies of the animal began sometime later, and it was identified as a
species separate from other guana populations on the Galapagos in 2009. Its
population might have been as high as 100 in 1986, but now there might be as few
as 10 of the animals left alive
Other evidence indicates at this species could have diverged from another line
of iguanas about 5.7 million years ago. After that the other line of iguanas diverged
into two other species. Cpallidus and C subcristatus
Which evolutionary tree best represents the information about the pink land iguana provided
