Arturiano [62]3 years ago

Answer:

The best explanation for the increased lymphocyte levels in Kaya is that she was not tissue typed prior to her surgery, and her body is mounting an immune response.

Explanation:

When performing an organ transplant, it must be verified whether the organ to be transplanted is compatible -by tissue typing- with the recipient, since it is recognized as a foreign body by the body and can be rejected.

One of the immunological responses to organ rejection is called cell rejection, involving T-helper and cytotoxic lymphocytes.

<u>It is very likely that in Kaya's case the tests have not been performed correctly, and she is experiencing rejection of the organ she received</u>. The progressive increase in lymphocytes may be an indication of this.

The other options are not possible because:

  • <em>Administering </em><u><em>antibiotics</em></u><em> should not raise lymphocyte levels. </em>
  • <em>There is no evidence of </em><u><em>antigen </em></u><em>attack. </em>
  • <u><em>Immunosuppressant drugs</em></u><em> do not increase lymphocyte count.</em>

Antigens on red blood cells are hereditary traits that allow blood to be typed in different ways. One system is based on a gene
Lerok [7]

Answer:

Antigens on red blood cells are hereditary traits that allow blood to be typed in different ways. One system is based on a gene with two alleles, M and N. If the frequency of the M allele in a population is 0.4, then according to the Hardy-Weinberg rule, the expected frequency of the heterozygous MN genotype is 0.48.

Write an essay how water moves from the soil to leaves of a mesophyte
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Water moves from the soil to the leaves of mesophytes by osmosis and xylem conduction.

<h3>What are mesophytes?</h3>

Mesophytes are plants that are adapted to moderate water environments only. In other words, they cannot survive extremely or extremely wet environments.

Water moves from the soil to the leaves of mesophytes as follows:

1. Water moves into the root hair by osmosis

2. Water is conducted upward from the root hairs by special cells known as xylems.

3. Conducted water reaches various plant parts, including leaves.
