Macrophages. <span>Macrophages are a type of white blood cell, of the immune system, that engulfs and digests cellular debris, foreign substances, microbes, cancer cells, and anything else that does not have the type of proteins specific to healthy body cells on its surface in a process called phagocytosis. These large phagocytes are found in essentially all tissues, where they patrol for potential pathogens by amoeboid movement. They take various forms throughout the body, but all are part of the mononuclear phagocyte system. Besides phagocytosis, they play a critical role in nonspecific defense and also help initiate specific defense mechanisms by recruiting other immune cells such as lymphocytes.</span>

The answer is Macrophages. White blood cells also the leukocytes are the cells of the immune system that are involved in protecting the body against both infectious disease and foreign invaders. All white blood cells are produced and derived from multipotent cells in the bone marrow known as the hematopoietic stem cells. Macrophages are important cells of the immune system that are formed in response to an infection or accumulating damaged or dead cells. They are large, specialized cells that recognize, engulf and destroy target cells.

In radishes, the gene that controls color exhibits incomplete dominance. Pure-breeding red
Ghella [55]

Answer:

The possible genotype of this cross is RW

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for radish color. The allele for red radish (R) is incompletely dominant over the allele for white radish (W), hence, a third intermediate phenotype is formed when they combine (RW).

In this cross, a pure-breeding red radish (RR) is crossed with a pure breeding white radish (WW) to create the F1 offspring. The red radish will produce gametes R while the white radish will produce gametes W, hence, using a punnet square (see attached image), the F1 offspring will have the genotype: RW.
