Answer

The worm gets coated with antibodies, which activate other cells in the immune system to secrete chemicals that kill it.

Explanation:

Production of T-helper I cytokines like IFN gamma, IL-2 and IL-18 is highly protective against helminth infection by activating the macrophage intracellular killers. Protection against mucosal eosinophil responses in which antiparasitic chemicals are released. Killing also involves direct cytotoxic mechanisms in which T- cell and NK-cells directly release antiparasitic agents like perforin and granulysin which kill the parasite.

HELP In fruit flies, red eyes are dominant (E). White eyes are recessive (e).Both of the parent flies are heterozygous. my brain
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Since the female parent is homeozygous, whichever allele the males get, they will receive a red-eye allele. Females are red-eyed because the presence of the recessive copy is masked. Males are red-eyed because they only have one copy of the gene, and that copy is for the red allele.
