6. In corn plants, normal height (H) is dominant over short height (h). Complete a
shutvik [7]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Normal height - H

Short height - h

Heterozygous - Hh

A cross involving heterozygotes would be Hh x Hh

         Hh    x    Hh

      HH   Hh   Hh   hh

Since H is dominant over h;

HH and Hh would produce normal height phenotypes.

hh will produce a short height phenotype.

Thus;

<em>Probability of normal height phenotype resulting from the cross = 3/4 or 75%</em>

<em>Probability of short height phenotype resulting from the cross = 1/4 or 25%</em>

mezya [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is- Immune system

Explanation:

There are physical, chemical and immunological barriers present in our body which helps us to protect from the foreign antigen. They all assist each other and helps in pathogen removal from our body.

The physical barrier includes skin, gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, etc which do not allow the microbe to enter the body. Chemical barriers include tear, saliva, acid in the stomach which kills microbes on the body surface.

Immune cells like macrophages, B cells kills microbes when it gets in the body. Lymphatic system also contain immune cells and helps in microbe removal.  

So the immune system is assisted by physical barrier, chemical barrier, and lymphatic system.
