<span>My pea plant has an unknown genotype for flowers, whether it has two dominant traits for white flowers (WW) or one dominant and one recessive (Ww) leading to white flowers; therefore I am doing a testcross in order to determine the genotype of my pea plant. The best plant to do this with is one that has a phenotype of purple flowers (ww) - that is, it is homozygous for the recessive trait. If I use a homozygous recessive plant, I know exactly what its genotype is. I don't have to worry about whether it's got one or two dominant alleles; I know that at least half of my alleles are going to be the recessive w. This makes identifying the offspring's genotype very simple. If I find that the offspring have at least some purple flowers among them, I know that my original plant had to be Ww; that is it had to have one dominant and one recessive allele for the flower color gene. If, however, all of the offspring are white flowers, I know that my original pea plant had both dominant alleles (WW).</span>

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

A. BY, or YB

Explanation:

This question is depicting a phenomenon in inheritance called CODOMINANCE, which is a type of non-mendelian inheritance in which two alleles of a gene both express themselves in that gene. In this question, the allele for blue color (B) is codominant with the allele for yellow color (Y).

This means that an individual that has a blue phenotype will possess the genotype BB while an individual that has a yellow phenotype will possess the genotype YY. Hence, in an heterozygous state in which both alleles combine to produce a simultaneous blue and yellow phenotype, the genotype will be BY or YB.

Mama L [17]

The right option is ; They destroy pathogens that enter the wound  

White blood cells will prevent bacteria on the glass from infecting her blood by destroying the bacteria.

White blood cells are the cells of the immune system that protects the body against infectious disease and pathogens. White blood cells are present in every part of the body including the blood. White blood cells encompass any pathogens in the blood, engulf and break them down so as to destroy them .
