When a pathogen enters the body, cells in the blood and lymph detect the specific pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) on the pathogen's surface. The immune system can be activated by a lot of different things that the body doesn't recognize as its own. These are called antigens. Examples of antigens include the proteins on the surfaces of bacteria, fungi and viruses. ... Sometimes the immune system mistakenly thinks that the body's own cells are foreign cells. Antigens are proteins that are found on the surface of the pathogen. ... The antibodies destroy the antigen (pathogen) which is then engulfed and digested by macrophages. White blood cells can also produce chemicals called antitoxins which destroy the toxins (poisons) some bacteria produce when they have invaded the body.

hope this helps :))

A mom, heterozygous for type B blood, has a baby with type AB blood, what possible blood types could the baby's father have?
EastWind [94]

Answer:

A

AB

Explanation:

This question involves blood type, which can either be blood type A, B, AB or O in humans. Alleles A (iA) and B (iB) are co-dominant but dominant over allele O (i).

According to this question, a mom who is heterozygous for type B blood i.e. genotype iBi, has a baby with type AB blood. Since the mother contributed the "B" allele, it means that the father contributed the A allele. Only a father with genotype: iAi or iAiA (type A) or iAiB (type AB) can produce such allele.
