Answer:

The correct answer is thymus gland.

Explanation:

In the immune system, the thymus is considered as a primary lymphoid organ. Thymus is present behind the sternum, above the heart and between the two of our lungs. It is made up of two-lobed and is involved in releasing hormones and providing immunity.

Thymus is the primary site where T- cells become mature. T- cells are formed in bone marrow but reaches to thymus for maturation. These mature T- cells play a very important role in providing adaptive immunity against foreign molecules.  

Thymus is larger till puberty and it slowly shrinks as the age increases. So the correct answer is thymus.

Answer:

Dominance

Explanation:

Mendel discovered certain principles that governs heredity or inheritance when he conducted experiments. In his experiments, he discovered that an organism receives two copies of a gene called allele, from each parent.

He discovered that one allele of a gene has the ability to mask or suppress the expression of its allele variant in the same gene. He called the allele that masks or is expressed, DOMINANT allele, while the allele that is masked, RECESSIVE allele. Based on this observation, he named his first principle, LAW OF DOMINANCE.

In this case, he crossed a purebreeding round-seeded pea plant and a purebreeding wrinkled-seeded pea plant, he noticed that in the F1 generation, all the offsprings possessed round seeds. This led to the conclusion that the allele for round seeds masks the phenotypic expression of the wrinkled allele in a heterozygous state. Hence, the allele for round seeds is dominant while the allele for Wrinkled seeds is recessive.

netineya [11]
The correct answer is "<span>Wrap the thumb in gauze, place in a bag and then on ice". 

Wrapping the cut-off finger in gauze or in any cloth, should be immediately placed in a bag then put on ice for it to be chilled. the thumb should not be exposed directly to the ice, or it will cause ice burns, wherein it will cause the thumb to not get sewn back. the ice is used to chill the thumb, to prevent the it from decomposing, not for freezing it. </span>

DNA markers between a suspect and a crime scene specimen are compared, including <span>DNA minisatellites, short tandem repeats (STRs) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).
