Answer:

Explanation:

The use of ointment for bacterial treatment does not fall into the first line of defence.

The first line of defence are physical (skin,tears, mucus) and chemical barriers( white blood cells also called neutrophils) which are prepared to defend the body against infection. The skin which is one of the first line of defence is a barrier that prevents entry of microorganisms the body. When the first mechanism is not effective especially for pathogens then the second mechanism is activated to get rid of the microorganism.

The use of ointment does not belong to any barrier or defence mechanism this is because it is not a natural way of getting rid of microorganisms within the body system.

Suppose you have one plant with the genotype TTPpYy, and another plant that is recessive for all three traits. If you were to cr
musickatia [10]

Answer:

16/64 = 1/4

Explanation:

This is a typical trihybrid cross involving three genes T, P and Y. A plant with genotype TTPpYy is crossed with a plant recessive for all traits (ttppyy).

According to Mendel's law of independent assortment, each allele for each gene will get sorted into the following 8 gametes with only 4 different: TPY, TPy, TpY, Tpy, TPY, TPy, TpY and Tpy.

The recessive parent, ttppyy will produce tpy, tpy, tpy, tpy, tpy, tpy, tpy and tpy.

Hence, using a punnet square, 64 offsprings will be produced with only 16 of them heterozygous dominant for the three traits with genotype (TtPpYy). Hence, proportion is 16/64 equivalent to 1/4.
