Lymph is the fluid carrying the white blood cells. It protects the body against many infections. Lymph nodes are the small areas throughout the body and abundantly present in the neck, arm pits and groin areas. They contain the lymphocytes that fight infections. These nodes filter out harmful organisms and abnormal cells before the lymph reaches the blood. A swollen lymph node is an indication of an infection. It can be a minor infection like the ear infection, strep infection or serious medical problems like the lymphomas, other cancers and AIDS. During pharyngitis which is the inflammation of the pharynx, the lymph nodes swell with the T lymphocytes due to the immune response.

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

The trait is inherited in the homozygous recessive pattern

Possible mating is between two heterozygous individuals

Explanation:

One possible explanation for this is that the trait for this brown mice has to inherited in the homozygous recessive condition. It is possible for this trait to skip two generations and then reappear if it has to be inherited in the homozygous recessive condition.

Another explanation to complement the first is that for this trait to reappear, there was mating between two heterozygous individuals (with one allele being domiant and the other being recessive). It is possible that all matings within the two skipped generations was between an heterozygous and a homozygous dominant or between two homozygous dominant individuals which will not produce the brown mice..
