Answer:

Explanation:

When we say that an individual is heterozygous, it means that the two alleles at the locus we are studying are different from one another. That is, each one of the parents contributed a different allele.

On the other hand, If the alleles at that locus were the same we would say the individual is homozygous. In other words, the two parents contributed each the same type of allele.

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Adaptive immune defense system consists of lymphocytes like B-lymphocytes and T- lymphocytes. B-lymphocytes provides humoral immunity while T- lymphocytes provide cell-mediated immunity to the body.

99% of lymphocytes circulate freely in the blood and lymph. B lymphocytes differentiate into plasma B cells and B memory cells when interact with antigen presented by T helper cells.

Then plasma cells secrete antibodies in the circulation which binds to extracellular antigens through antigen-binding site. Then the bounded antigen is recognized by receptors present on phagocytic cells. This receptor binds the Fc region of antigen bounded antibody and destroy the antigen by phagocytosis.
