Answer:  B. secrete enzymes that kill bacteria

Explanation:

Paneth cells, so-called because they were first described by Dr. Josef Paneth in 1888, are pyramidal cells, with the nucleus in the basal position, and with large granules in the apical position. Its first isolated specific product was the lysozyme, a bactericidal substance, by Alexander Flemming. These cells play an important role in innate immunity in the small intestine, producing a wide diversity of antimicrobial peptides and enzymes such as lysozyme itself, cryptidines, defensins and a lectin with bactericidal properties.

How does the life cycle of a star compare to that of a human
solong [7]

Short answer:

It has a "birth" (in the nebula) just like humans are born inside their mothers.

It gets older and changes(in color which is due to its Temperature and in Size) just like humans as they go from babies to adults to elders. They also both die (Stars exploded or become black holes) stars "die out" and humans literally die. Both can die(not literally for stars) from old age.

I need help with the image (phenotypes and genotypes).
Flauer [41]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

1. <u>Only one phenotype</u> is present in the F1 generation offspring. Since tallness was dominant over shortness, all the offspring in the F1 generation appeared tall.

2. <u>Two phenotypes </u>are present in the F2 generation - 9 tall and 3 short. The short trait reappeared at the F2 generation.

3. The genotype of the F1 offspring would be heterozygous. Assuming the purebred tall is AA and the purebred short is aa:

     AA   x   aa

  Aa   Aa   Aa   Aa

All the F1 offspring will appear tall and their genotypes would be heterozygous.

4. Assuming that the allele for height is denoted with A (a), <u>the genotype of the purebred tall plant would be AA. </u>

5. In a similia vein, <u>the genotype of the purebred short plant would be aa. </u>
