The lymphatic system has many functions in the human body. Here are the two main ones.

1.) the fat tissue in the body is transported through lymph tissue, part of the lymphatic system.

2.)the lymphatic system also has a significant role in the human defense system. After a pathogen (a disease causing substance eg. Bacteria) has bypassed the general defence system, its up to the lymphatic system to fight these infections.

It does this through the production of antibodies against these pathogens. Cells are produced to produce and antibodies, namely, b and t cells. Examples of these cells include; killer t cells(what it says on the tin.) memory b AND t cells memorise the pathogen so it does not infect you again(induced immunity). Suppressor t cells stop killer cells from destroying normal healthy human cells. These particular cells have a significant role immunity.

Not 100% sure but I think the lymphatic system has a role in the production of phagocytes and monocytes which engulf the bacteria(as opposed to using chemicals to destroy them). Ps. Antibodies recognise pathogens through specific antigens on these harmful cells.

Finally, I believe the lymphatic system can be linked with white blood cells in the production of additional immunity proteins but you may have to do your own research on that!

GOOD LUCK

What is one condition that must be met for a population to be in genetic equilibrium?
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The Hardy-Weinberg model states that a population will remain at genetic equilibrium as long as five conditions are met: (1) No change in the DNA sequence, (2) No migration, (3) A very large population size, (4) Random mating, and (5) No natural selection.

Katarina [22]

Answer:

The Pepsi he drinks at 10 pm

Explanation:

Pepsi is a caffeinated drink that has caffeine in it. Caffeine is a stimulant which means it keeps the body awake and alert. Caffeine works by mimicking adenosine. Adenosine is produced by neuron cells and when it binds to its own receptors (autocrine signaling) it triggers the neurons cells to continue firing. As the adenosine levels fall as the day progresses, the brain is signaled that it is time rest. Adenosine levels are at the lowest when its almost bedtime. However, when Jon takes Pepsi, the caffeine in it bind to the adenosine receptors and make the brain neurons to keep ‘firing’.

A woman, S.R., had a maternal grandfather with hemophilia A (OMIM 306700), an X-linked recessive condition that reduces blood cl
Sidana [21]

Answer:

Hemophilia is a x-linked recessive inherited bleeding  disorder. in this disease blood does not clot properly due to the decreased level of blood clotting factor VIII (8) or factor IX (9).

In x-linked recessive condition, the disease is transmitted from father (affected male) to his daughter and mother (affected female) to her son and skip of generation getting affected is also occurs.

  • there will be 50% chance of her (S.R.) each son to be affected with hemophilia.

Explanation:

Hemophilia is caused due to mutation of one gene which is responsible for the making of proteins of  blood coagulation factor viii or ix. the affected person bleeds continuously from any injury and that can cause serious issues.

here,

grandfather of s.r is affected (xₐy) and grandmother is normal (xx) will produce

                                                   ↓

 s.r's mother who is a carrier (xₐx) [as xₐy and xx will produce 100% carrier xₐx daughter]

                                                    ↓

s.r's mother is a carrier (xₐx) but her father is normal (xy) will produce,

                                                   ↓

s.r who has 50% chance of being carrier (xₐx) and 50% chance of being normal (xx) [as she is the only child] and she has a normal (xy) partner, they will give,

                                                     ↓

  1. if s.r is a carrier (xₐx) then one of her son will be affected (xₐy)   [as xₐx and xy =xₐy]
  2. if s.r is normal (xx) then her son will be normal (xy) [as xx and xy will give xy]

here,<u> 50% chance of her son to be affected with hemophilia</u> [as S.R of being affected is more considerable].
