Answer:

This is antibiotic resistance. It occurs with over use of antibiotics.

When antibiotics are over used, likely targeted bacteria are being   killed constantly even in absence of an infection. However,  few  bacteria may resist the antibiotics effects(selective pressure) , and therefore survived. If these resistant bacteria who were able to survive the selective pressure  reproduce, they pass the resistant trait/ gene into their offspring.

Therefore with continuous exposure to antibiotics, they will  resist the antibiotics effects(selective pressure),and thus reducing the effectiveness  of antibiotic treatments  with subsequent application.

Irina-Kira [14]

A white blood cell engulfing foreign materials is more likely to carry out Endocytosis.

Explanation:

  • Endocytosis is the process by which a cell takes up a macromolecule into is cytoplasm by forming a vessicle.

  • The excretion of hormones involves the movement of molecule outside the cytoplasm. This process is exocytosis.
  • The engulfment of an antigen by WBC involves taking up of molecule within the cell so that it can be killed and digested. Thus in  this case  Endocytosis is more likely to occur..

AleksAgata [21]
When two parents are purebred it means that they are homozygous for the characteristic that's being tested (in this case the fur colour). When they are crossed, the offspring will obligatory be heterozygous, an allele of each type from its parents. So, the trait that comes up will be the dominant trait, while the recessive trait will be hidden.
