C.Engulfing a foreign pathogen

Explanation:

Phagocytosis is a critical part of the immune system.

Several types of cells of the immune system perform phagocytosis, such as neutrophils, macrophages, dendritic cells, and B lymphocytes.

The act of phagocytizing pathogenic or foreign particles allows cells of the immune system to know what they are fighting against.

After phosphates and nitrates have entered a water
frosja888 [35]

After phosphates and nitrates enter a water system, the steps of eutrophication include the rapid growth of algae, death of underwater plant species, depletion of oxygen in the water, and the death of fishes and invertebrates. The correct option would be B.

Eutrophication refers to the excessive enrichment of water bodies by nutrients such as phosphates and nitrates thereby facilitating the rapid growth of some aquatic species with negative effects.

Once a water body becomes excessively enriched with phosphates and nitrates, the following is a sequence of events that follows:

  • Algal bloom: the nutrients facilitate the rapid growth of algae
  • The bloom of algal species results in the death of underwater plants as a result of inadequate light.
  • The death of the underwater plants and the accompanying microbial activities in decomposing them cause oxygen levels in the water to drop.
  • Reduction in oxygen level causes fishes and other water invertebrates to die due to hypoxia

Therefore, the correct steps of eutrophication according to the illustration is IV, II, I, and III.

When would lactic-acid fermentation take place in the human body?
AlladinOne [14]
Lactic fermentation occurs in many organisms, but only during a specific process known as anaerobic respiration. Muscles usually receive energy through a process known as cellular respiration[15], but when there is a lack of oxygen in the organism, muscles go through anaerobic respiration.

4. The Rh blood type response system is controlled by the D allele. The genotypes DD and Dd are Rh (Rh positive); dd is Rh- (Rh
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

A - Frequency of D allele = 0.35

Frequency of d allele = 0.65

B- Frequency of DD genotype = 0.1225

Frequency of Dd genotype = 0.455

Frequency of dd genotype = 0.425.

C - Total population = 400

Frequency of heterozygous population = 400*0.455 = 183.

EXPLANATION:

The equilibrium sum of all the allelic frequency of a gene is always 1 and sum of all the genotypic frequency of all the genotype is always 1 - This is according to Hardy-Weinberg.

So p+q =1

p2+ 2pq+q2 =1

where p = frequency of dominant allele

q is the frequency of the recessive allele.

from the question, it was given that there were  170 individual out of 400, which were Rh- negative,

So q2 = 170/400 = 0.425

q= 0.65

Also p+q =1

so p = 1-q

or p = 1-0.65

Hence p =0.35

Frequency of homozgupus for D allele = 0.35*0.35 = 0.1225

Frequency of heterozygous or Dd will be 2pq.

or 2*0.35*0.65 = 0.455

A - Frequency of D allele = 0.35

Frequency of d allele = 0.65

B- Frequency of DD genotype = 0.1225

Frequency of Dd genotype = 0.455

Frequency of dd genotype = 0.425.

C - Total population = 400

Frequency of heterozygous population = 400*0.455 = 183.
