Which of these is not a property of lymphatic capillaries?
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

They are smaller than blood capillaries.

Explanation:

Lymphatic capillaries drains the extracellular fluid present between the cell spaces. The fluid is known as lymph as it enters the lymph capillaries. These capillaires drains into lymph vessels that drains to lymph nodes and lymph ultimately enters the venous circulation.

Lymphatic capillaries are slightly larger than blood vessels and these capillaries have close ends. The walls of lymph capillaries are made up  of endothelial cells. The endothelial cells overlap in lymph vessels and when the pressure in ECF is greater these cells move and create a sort of gap for the movement of ECF inside the lymph capillary but when the pressure inside the capillary is greater these cells again overlap and does not allow the lymph to move outside of capillary. Thus lymph capillaries only allow the ECF to enter the capillary but does not allow the lymph to go out from capillary. Lymph capillaries have greater internal pressure than blood vessels.

When a red 4 o'clock flower with a white flower, all of the offspring are pink. This type of inheritance is known as:_______ a.
KatRina [158]

Answer:

b. incomplete dominance

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance is a type of inheritance that does not confirm to Mendel's principles of inheritance i.e it is non-mendelian. Incomplete dominance occurs when an allele of a gene does not completely mask the expression of another allele of the same gene, hence, the two alleles combine to form a heterozygous that is different but intermediate of both parent phenotypes.

This is the case in this question where the red allele (R) of a four o'clock plant is INCOMPLETELY DOMINANT over the white allele (W), hence, they both produce an intermediate pink phenotype (RW), which is a blending of both red and white phenotypes.
