Answer:

Explanation:

Geneticists use letters to represent alleles of different characters.

(Alleles: one of the two or more alleles  of a character.)

A single letter is used to represent both the alleles of a particular character.

A capital letter represents a dominant allele, while a small letter represents a recessive one.

<u>The letters do not just have one standard representation</u>. same letter can be used to represent different characters. However, the letters may relate to the allele. For example: the letter 'B' can be used to represent Brown eyes.

The distance versus time graph for Object A and Object B are shown.
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Both move with constant speed.

Explanation:

If an object moves in a particular way that it covers the same distance at the same times the speed considered as constant suppose if two objects a and b both travel 10 m and 20 m respectively and the time they take in travel are 2 and 4 seconds respectively than we can say they both have a constant speed.

The relation between the variables x,t, and v is

x=v.t

If V is constant which is the speed we get a straight line x-t in the graph.

By the given information we can say that both objects A and B are traveling at a constant speed.

Phagocytes are unable to adhere to bacteria that have external capsules concealing their membrane carbohydrates. Our immune syst
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

The correct answer is c) opsonins

Explanation:

Opsonization is a process in which proteins like antibodies and complement proteins called opsonins bind to the antigens and get it recognized by the phagocyted which destroys the antigen.

Especially when bacteria is having external capsule than it becomes difficult for phagocytes to attach to the capsular surface as the recognition molecule like membrane carbohydrate of antigen is concealed by capsule.

So to encounter this, antibodies like IgG and complement proteins like C3b attaches to the antigen and get it recognized and opsonized by the phagocytes like macrophages. This opsonization causes the destruction of antigen by enzymatic lysis.
