Why does the number of phagocytes and lymphocytes in the body increase during an infection?

Biology

Masteriza [31]3 years ago

A. More phagocytes and lymphocytes are needed to fight the infection.

Phagocytes and lymphocytes are basically the white blood cells in our body that are used to fight off infections and diseases. Naturally, your body would want to create more to close up a wound if you got a simple cut, but to have that become infected or for you to generally have an infection, there's going to be a larger demand for them. Diseases and infections bring bacteria and foreign invaders into your body, so you will want more phagocytes and lymphocytes to fight them all off and return back to your health.

Match each definition to the appropriate term. locus
liraira [26]
I) Locus- the chromosomal site where a specific gene is located. A locus is a fixed position on a chromosome, like the position of a gene or a marker. Each chromosome carries ,many genes; human's estimated haploid (n) protein coding genes are about 20,000, on the 23 different chromosomes.


ii) Interference; the observed double crossover frequency differs from the expected double crossover frequency. Cross over interference is used to refer to the non-random placement of crossovers with respect to each other during meiosis. It results in widely spaced crossovers along chromosomes. Interference may exert its effect across whole chromosomes. As chromosomes in many eukaryotes are large, interference must be able to act over megabase lengths of DNA. 

iii) Linkage- the tendency for genes located in close proximity on the same chromosome to be inherited together. Normally when two genes are close together on the same chromosome, they do not assort independently and are said to be linked. Whereas genes located on different chromosomes assort independently and have a recombination frequency of 50%, linked genes have a recombination frequency that is less than 50%.

iv) Recombination- the process by which a new pattern of alleles on a chromosome is generated. Genetic recombination is the production of offspring with combinations f traits that differ from those found in either parent. During meiosis in eukaryotes, genetic recombination involves the pairing of homologous chromosomes. This may be followed by information transfer between the chromosomes.
