well i know them..!! i mean.we need to make a even width..thats okay..!! but..the thing, the scale...like..ms mentioned...reject awkward scale..!! well...what types of scale are defined as awkward..they said....25 to 40 for 2.. they said awkward scale for this.....and...there was a scale similar to this kind..like...5 to 2mm..!! so little confused..!!

yeah don't use awkward scales. should cover the whole range of data and should have reasonable intervals in it. like 20 small squares representing 2 cm is ok...pardon

cn somebody explain me how synapse are involved with memory
here is what i found in a book:
synapses are involved in memory and learning.despite much research, little is yet known about how memory operates. however, there is much evidence that it involves synapses. For example, if your brain frequently receive information about two things at same time, say a sound of a particular voice and a site of particular face, then it is thought that new synapses form in your brain that links the neurones involved in the passing of information along the particular pathways from your ears and eyes. In future, when you hear the voice, information flowing from your ears along this pathway automatically flows into the other pathway too, so that your brain pictures the face which goes with the voice.
hope that helps!!

Macrophages only cut the pathogens up to display antigens or they also engulf pathogens by phagocytosis?

Q) Explain how vaccination can control disease?
---> Vaccine contains the micro organisms living or dead..when vaccines are injected, it gets into the body and body immune system recognize it as a foreign body.....the specific B and t Cells divide mitotically to form a clone.......which produces many antibodies.....and memory cells....!! antibodies find the pathogens and invade them..whereas memory cells make the body safe from the attack of pathogen the next time later...!!


Well..is this answer ok to this question...if the question was for 3 marks?
