The boxer crab, Lybia tesselata, carries a small pair of anemones in its claws. When approached by a predator, it waves the anemones around, presenting the stinging tentacles and chasing away the predator. The anemones benefit by eating food particles from prey that the crab catches. What type of relationship is this?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

This is a symbiotic relationship between the Boxer crab and sea anemone.

Explanation:

The symbiosis is a type of relationship between two species which has benifit for both the participating organisms.

Here in case of boxer crab, the crab gets the help from the sea anemone in the form of protection. The sea anemone chases the predators and thereby saves the organism from being hunted.

On the other hand, the sea anemone gets food from the crab's prey which he hunts.

So there's a benifit for both.

Why do doctors recommend that people get a flu shot each new flu season?The flu virus becomes immune to the vaccine
The vaccine wears out over time?
The flu virus changes every year <----?
The body eliminates the vaccine

Answers

The doctors recommend that people get a flu shot each new flu season because the flu virus changes each year. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option. There are three kinds of virus vaccines and the virus vaccines changes each year depending on the type of flu.

Answer:

The correct answer would be the third option.

Vaccination refers to the administration of weekend or attenuated microorganism or antigen in the body. It helps in developing adaptive immunity in the body.

Thus, vaccine neither wears out with time nor body eliminates the vaccine.

However, the flu virus changes every year due to the short life cycle. Consequently, the memory B cells cannot recognize changed virus due to which the body loses its immunity against the virus.

This is why doctors recommend that people should get flu shot each new flu season.
