Answer to Question 1

Answer: There are five biomes which have trees as their predominant vegetation. For instance, there are tropical rainforests, midlatitude deciduous forests, etc. Instead, forests are a major plant association.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Because of crustal plat movements, the continent has been isolated from the other plant and animal regions for more than 100 million years. This has allowed evolution time enough to make the species unique to Australia and not as diverse as other places in which mingling of species from other areas was able to occur.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
