Phagocytosis is when a cell encloses a particle completely to form  a phagosome. The process was originally evolved for the acquisition of nutrients by certain specialised cells. In multicellular animals, the process has been adapted to form a part of the immune system. Here, debris and pathogens are ingested by a macrophage, which then fuses with a lysosome to form a phagolysosome. Here, enzymes and toxic peroxides digest the pathogen.

Describe non disjunction and the effect it can have on a human
faust18 [17]

non-disjunction is a pathological event that occurs during the second anaphase in meiosis when sister chromatids are not separated. As a result one of the resulting cells will have 1 extra chromosome and the other will be 1 short. An example of a non-disjunction that can occur in humans is Down syndrome that has a frequency of about 1/1000 people. It is caused by the non-disjunction of the 21st pair of chromosomes.

The suncoast tree of northwest Africa is known for 2 traits that are said to show simple dominance. The 2 traits are height and
ivann1987 [24]

The genotypes would be bbTT X BbTt

Assuming that bark color is represented by B (b) allele and height is represented by T (t) allele.

Since the traits show simple dominance: blue (B) of dominant over purple (b) and tall (T) is dominant over short (t)

  • The genotype of a tree that is purebred purple (bb) and tall (TT) would be bbTT
  • The genotype of a tree that is heterozygous for both trait would be BbTt
  • Thus, the cross would be bbTT x BbTt
