The lymph system acts like blood vessels only that instead of blood, they carry lymph. Just like certain organs as associated with the circulatory system like heart, the lymph system has such organs like the spleen and thymus.

Explanation:

When blood passes through capillaries, the blood pressure causes the blood plasma to filter through the capillary walls. This fluid then gets into the extracellular spaces of the cells and tissues and nourishes the cells. This fluid in which the cells ‘bath’ in is called interstitial fluid.  Excess interstitial fluid flows back through the lymphatic systems and back to the blood through the subclavian veins of the thoracic duct.

The lymph system has several functions. It is responsible for the removal of foreign material like bacteria because the lymph nodes have 'meshwork' that ‘sieves’ the lymph fluid and immune cells destroy bacteria and viruses.

In a sample of 2,400 people, 1,482 were found to have the dominant (taster) phenotype. Assuming that the population is in Hardy-
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

1128.

Explanation:

The dominant taster phenotype is 1482.

The recessive taster phenotype = 2400 – 1482 = 918 .

Recessive phenotypes = 2400 – 1482 = 918

The recessive phenotype frequency = q² = 918 / 2400 = 0.38.

the recessive allele frequency q = √0.38 = 0.62.

The dominant allele frequency, p = 1-q = 1- 0.62 = 0.38

The heterozygous frequency =  2pq = 2 ×0.38 × 0.62 = 0.47 .

The heterozygous individual in the population = 0.47 × 2400 = 1128.

Thus, the answer is 1128.

Which of the following examples poses the greatest potential threat to an ecosystem’s biodiversity?
amid [387]

A non native species is greatest threat to biodiversity. The species that are not present in the particular place and are introduced in the biodiversity by any means whether it is intentional or unintentional is known as invasive species or non native species.

The non native species of bees is introduced to prey on the fire ants can be a threat to biodiversity as it can use the resources available for the native species.

The effect of the non native species on the native species is not predictable on the species that is already present there.
