Answer: The correct answer is-

Phenotype.

Phenotype can be described as the morphological form or characteristic of an organism ( such as tall height of plant, skin color, eye color, hair color), which is depicted by the genetic makeup of an organism and is passed to next generation through genes.

The genes ( that is unit of heredity) for particular phenotype are inherited by offspring from their parents in the form of DNA sequences.

In other words, the physical traits ( that is phenotype) are inherited from one generation to the next generation in the form of genes.

Thus, phenotype describes the heritable, physical characteristics of a living organism.

Oksanka [162]
GM foods should be labeled in food stores. If, for example, someone wanted to buy a GM Apple, which could be enriched in chemicals, that should be labeled different than a regular apple. What if someone was allergic to some of the modifications in that apple. If there was a label on that apple, that person would not get a allergic reaction. That is why GM products should be labeled.

Giardia does it lead to elevated levels of IgE and eosinophilia?
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

No, Giardia is a protozoan that does not cause eosinophilia.

Explanation:

Eosinophilia refers to an increase in the number of eosinophils in the blood. The eosinophil is one of the white blood cells. When this occurs, the circulating eosinophils might be over 400 or 500.

Many factors might cause. One of them is parasite infections, in which helminths trigger the IgE generation, producing eosinophilia.

In the presence of the parasite antigen, eosinophils have a shorter medullar generation time, and they express a higher number of receptors for IgE and IgG. Their function is to damage the parasite, directly or indirectly, and to decrease the damages caused by their presence.

Giardia, among other protozoans, does not cause eosinophilia. Yet some other protozoans and parasites might induce it.
