Answer:

Antibodies

Explanation:

Bordetella pertussis is an obligate human pathogen and is the etiological agent of whooping cough. It is known to be an opportunistic organism.

The pathogenic mechanism of Bordetella pertussis is also known as virulence factor. These virulence factors are known to include adhesins such as filamentous haemagglutinin, fimbriae and pertactin, which allow B. pertussis to bind to ciliated epithelial cells in the upper respiratory tract.

It is known to be the agent of whooping cough, a highly contagious respiratory disease, dramatic for infants and also for elderly and pregnant women.

In this case, the antibodies will be the response that is uniquely directed against the organism. It is said earlier that this organism is an opportunistic one, this means that it causes infection when the immunity is down. So, when the immunity is empowered , it will definitely fight against the organism

Artist 52 [7]

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.
