Following are the statements:
1. Main phagocytes in circulation
2. Like eosinophils, they are involved in inflammation and allergic reactions
3. Phagocytic cells that leave circulation and differentiate into macrophages
4. Display no antigen specificity but are active against tumor and virally infected cells
Answer:
1. Neutrophils
2. Basophils
3. Monocytes
4. Natural killer cells
Explanation:
Neutrophils can be described as the most abundant type of white blood cells. They make up to 55%- 75% of the immune system.
Basophils can be described as white blood cells which are made in the bone marrow.
Monocytes can be described as white blood cells which are the largest and differentiate into macrophages and myeloid lineage dendritic cells.
Natural killer cells can be described as white blood cells which play a role in providing innate immunity.
Answer:
The main reason many people choose to avoid green action is that they think it will cost them more than their typical, environmentally harmful activities. Many times, it is true that environmental friendly products come with high up-front costs, but these costs almost always are made back over the lifetime of products. Many environmentally friendly products are far more efficient and cost-effective over their life-time than other, less clean options. For the most part, people are simply unaware of the economic benefits of going green. This lack of knowledge make consumers unwilling to make decisions that they perceive will cost them more money. No matter how dedicated to the environment a person is, if they believe it will lose them money, it is unlikely that they will ever do anything about it. While total spending on green products may be increasing in the United States, the market share remains dangerously low – typically making up only 3-5% of any given market.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
The F2 offspring of a cross would follow the ratio of 9:3:3:1 only if the cross is a <u>dihybrid for two unlinked traits</u>.
There is nothing like a monohybrid cross for two traits. A cross involving two traits is a dihybrid cross. Hence, options a and b are out of the equation.
A dihybrid cross for two closely linked traits would produce F2 offspring in another ratio that is different from 9:3:3:1 depending on the linkage map.
<em>Hence, the correct option is</em><em> C</em><em>.</em>
