The feature of the immune system which is best described by this scenario which involves engulfing of bacterial cells is the phagocytotic barrier, which is a part of innate immunity and is denoted as option B.

<h3>What is Immune system?</h3>

This is part of the body which is responsible for protection and helps to fight germs and diseases through the white blood cells which are present in the body system.

The immune system comprises of macrophages which engulfs the pathogen through the process known as phagocytosis which is why phagocytotic barrier which is a part of innate immunity was chosen as the correct choice.

Answer:

<em>Scientific models</em><em> are used to predict and elaborate the behaviour of the real objects in the field of physics, chemistry, ecology and earth science. </em>

<em>It is used to gain improved </em><em>understanding of the processes and systems. </em>

Explanation:

However, every model have some limitations because they are not the representative of every possible scenario. For instance, relationship between time and distance is the idea model, study of cell and its various parts uses physical model, predicting earthquake uses computer model.

If a man with blood type A, one of whose parents had blood type O, marries a woman with blood type AB, what are the putative gen
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

If the man has blood type A one of whose parents had blood type O then he must be having the genotype IAi and the woman with blood group AB would have genotype IAIB. So if they produce offspring than the putative genotype of the offspring would be IAIA, IAi, IAIB, and IBi.

                     IA        i

              IA   IAIA   IAi

              IB   IAIB    IBi

Therefore out of four offspring, two offspring would be having A blood group, one offspring would have AB blood group and one offspring would have B blood group.

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Explanation:

\text{From the given question, we are to copy and complete the passage.}

\text{The functional pathway for the gustatory system begins with taste cells whose}  \\ \\ \text{function is the} \  \mathbf{sensation} \  \text{of taste.  Taste cells form synapses with the}  \\ \\ \mathbf{gustatory  \ afferent \  axons}  \ \text{whose   cell bodies are in the gustatory ganglion, }

\text{and whose axon form the} \  \mathbf{vagal \  nerves}   \text{and the glossopharyngela nerve.}  \\ \\ \text{These axons terminate in the gustatory nucleus of the solitary nucleus.}  \\ \\ \text{The gustatory nucleus project into the}  \ \mathbf{ hypothalamus.} \\ \\ \text{These thalamic nucleus project into the} \ \mathbf{olfactory \ projection} \  \text{in the } \\ \\ \text{parietal cortex and function  of these neurons is the} \ \mathbf{ sensation} \ \text{ of taste. } \\ \\

\text{It is also important to mention an accessory pathway where only}  \ \mathbf{sensory }  \\ \\ \text{information travels from the gustatory nucleus to a motor nucleus in the brainstem.} \\  \\  \text{This motor nucleus projects to muscle cells of the esophagus and stomach, producing} \\ \\  \text{reflexive }\mathbf{arc}
