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.

First, I chose to put a Chipotle container into the trash, instead of the recycling. This wasn’t the best decision, because it could have gone to the recycling and helped others.

Secondly, my family owns a compost bin and compost machine that helps compost vegetable waste, fruit scraps, coffee grounds, and other compostable items. Choosing to do this helps the environment in many ways.

Thirdly, I picked up many aluminum cans on the side of the road to crush and collect. After several months of collecting them in a container, my family and I bring them to a place that recycles and reuses metals and aluminum.

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

The fraction of the offspring that will show the phenotype produced by the recessive c allele is 1024/4096 = 0.25 A-BbccDdE-Ff = 25%

Explanation:

You can calculate the fraction of the offspring that will show the phenotype produced by the recessive c allele by making the punnet square for each gene and then multipling the phenotypic proportions, like this:

Cross) AAbbCcDDEeff     x      AaBBCcddEEFF

Cross For each gene by separately:

  • Parental )        AA    x    Aa

       Gametes)  A    A         A    a

        F1)             2/4 AA  

                          2/4 Aa

  • Parental )        bb    x    BB

         Gametes)  b    b         B   b

          F1)                   4/4 Bb

  • Parental )        Cc    x    Cc

        Gametes)  C    c         C    c

         F1)             1/4 CC

                           2/4 Cc

                            1/4 cc

  • Parental )        DD    x    dd

       Gametes)  D    D          d    d

        F1)             4/4 Dd

  • Parental )        Ee    x    EE

        Gametes)     E     e      E     E

         F1)             2/4 Ee

                           2/4 EE

  • Parental )        ff    x    FF

         Gametes)     f     f      F     F

          F1)             4/4 Ff

So, fraction of the offspring that will show the phenotype produced by the recessive c allele is:

4/4 A-  x  4/4 Bb   x   1/4 cc   x   4/4 Dd   x  4/4 E-   x   4/4 Ff =  

1024/4096 = 0.25 A-BbccDdE-Ff =25%
