Answer:

The correct answer would be d. thymus.

The thymus is a specialized lymphoid organ of an immune system.

It serves as the site for training and maturation of T-lymphocytes or T cells.  

It is composed two identical lobes each containing outer region termed as cortex and inner region termed as medulla.

T-cells are first trained and selected in the cortex region via positive selection. In this, T cells which are able to bind to foreign antigens are selected and rest are degraded.

The selected T cells then move in the medulla region where they are selected by negative selection. In this, the T cells which binds to self-antigens are degraded and rest survive to become functional T cells.

Theodor W. Engelmann illuminated a filament of algae with light that passed through a prism, thus exposing different segments of
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

The aerotaxis movement experiment performed by the Theodor W. Engelmann played an important role in understanding the photosynthesis.

The experiment was performed on the <em>Spirogyra </em>filamentous algae which were exposed to a different wavelength of light.

The other aerobic bacteria present in the test tubes started moving and accumulated near the two regions of the <em>Spirogyra</em> where they were exposed to the blue and red light of the VIBGYOR.

The region receiving red and blue light produced more oxygen through photosynthesis which indicated that these two wavelengths of the light are more active for photosynthesis than any other wavelengths.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.
