Question

1)What can antibodies directly do to an invading pathogen as part of the adaptive immune response?

2)Which of the following cells act as phagocytes?

3)Asexual organisms pass 100% of their genes to their offspring, whereas sexual organisms only pass 50% of their genes to their offspring. Because of this, in a population where both types of reproduction occur, natural selection favors asexual reproduction. If this is true, why aren't more organisms asexual?

4)What is known as the two-fold cost of sexual reproduction?

5)Some children are born with what are classified as congenital defects. Assume that there is a child born without a kidney on one side of the body. It is likely that something went wrong during the ___________________ trimester of pregnancy.

6)A man with prostate cancer has his prostate removed, and only his prostate removed. Which of the below statements is TRUE about the man after prostate removal?

Release histamine, which opens up capillaries for neutrophils

Explanation / Answer

1. Antibodies bind to antigen in numbers to limit its production.

2.Natural killer cells acts as a phagocyte

3. because sexual reproduction maintains genetic variation in a population, making it more likely to survive if its environment changes than an asexual population

4. lower population growth rates relative to asexual organisms and the lower mutation rates that are typically observed in populations of sexual organisms, relative to mutation rates in asexual organisms

5.first trimester

6.All of these statements are true
