Answer:

B) Viruses are killing some of his B cells and becoming incorporated into the genomes of others.

Explanation:

Epstein-Barr virus causes infectious mononucleosis by following mechanism.

1) Epstein-Barr virus attaches to and infects epithelium of the throat where it replicates and causes pharyngitis.

2) Virions enter the lymphoid vessels and are carried to the lymph nodes. Some virions escape the lymphnode trap and are carried to the bloodstream.

3) Virions attach specifically to B lymphocytes and infect them, producing either latent infection or productive infection.

4)The infected B lymphocytes actively replicate and differentiate into cells producing random immunoglobulins.

5)T cells respond to infection and destroy the lymphocytes replicating EBV vitus.

6) Latently infected B lymphocytes become immortal. They are not attacked by T cells.

Answer:

<h2>No,</h2><h2>Phenotypic Ratio: 1 Chestnut : 2 Palomino : 1 Dilute</h2>

Explanation:

 As given:

The chestnut (dark brown) allele and a diluting (pale cream) alleles show incomplete dominance, means that both the alleles in heterozygous condition show their effect. So the heterozygous show the phenotype which is intermediate of both the parents, here a horse heterozygous for these two alleles is a palomino.

 There is in fact, no particular allele present for palomino, this phenotype only results due  to having two  different alleles for a gene. So, palominos can never be pure-breeding because they can never be  homozygous.

Let P1 chestnut and P2  dilute,

Palomino is P1P2

The Punnett’s  Square for palomino mated to palomino:

P1P2×  P1P2

Gametes are: parent-1 P1 and  P2 , parent-2:  P 1  and P2

Progeny are:  P1P1,      P1P 2,    P 2 P1,    P2 P2

Genotypic Ratio: 1 P1P 1  : 2 P1P 2  : 1 P2P 2

Phenotypic Ratio: 1 Chestnut : 2 Palomino : 1 Dilute

PLS help me with my biology HW, I forgot what the answer was!

Answer:

Contracted blood vessels

Explanation:

The volume of blood is reduced as the vessels are more narrow due to the contraction, so less blood reaches the respiring tissues, causing the force of blood flow to increase as there is less space for normal blood flow to occur. This means that blood pressure increases.
