D) chromosome
The answer is A) allele
Explanation:
RNA and DNA are the two nucleic acids in living organisms used for transferring and storing genetic information. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the genetic material in living organisms that contains segment coding for useful products/proteins and transmits genetic information from one generation to another. These segments are called GENES.
However, genes contain an alternate form responsible for genetic variation in the traits coded for by them. These alternate or variant form of a gene is called ALLELE. In a diploid organism like human, each trait is encoded by genes which contain contrasting pair of alleles that allows variation for that particular trait i.e. two alleles for each gene. For example, height trait in humans are encoded by gene, which possess two alleles; one coding for short variety (t) and the other for tall variety (T).

Answer: White blood cells form to fight off cell infections.
Explanation:
1. Your body produces white blood cells which fight against infected cells, depends on what type of cell it is and how infected it is.
2. The immune response to a viral infection is primarily generated by a type of white blood cell called lymphocytes; cells that are mostly localized in ‘lymphoid tissues’ such as the lymph nodes or tonsils. However, the number of lymphocytes that can recognize and react against any individual type of virus is initially very small. This is particularly true for a novel virus such as SARS-CoV-2, which people have never encountered before. In order to produce an effective immune response, the small number of lymphocytes that can recognize a virus must become more abundant. Even though lymphocytes proliferate quickly it still takes several days before there are sufficient cells available to fight back against the infection. During this period the virus may also be spreading rapidly, so there is a race between the virus and the immune system that may determine the final outcome, in terms of recovery.
