A cross between individuals that are heter0zyg0us for two different traits is a dihybrid cross. A cross between two individuals that are heterozygous for eye and skin color would be an example of a _dihybrid_ cross.

----------------------

Dihybrid crosses involve individuals that expresses two different traits and are heter0zyg0us for each of them.

So let us imagine we are studing the characters eye color and skin color. Let us assume that both of them are coded by single diallelic genes.

For eye color there is

Dominant allele B that codes for brown eyes
Recessive allele b that codes for blue eyes

For skin color there is

Dominant allele A that codes for black skin
Recessive allele a that codes for white skin

So, an individual that is heter0zyg0us for both of them, is BbAa.

If this person crosses to another person with the same genotype, we are talking about a dihybrid cross, because two dibybrid individuals are involved.

Cross: BbAa x BbAa

According to this information, we can aswer the question:

When crossing two individuals that are heterozygous for eye and skin color we are referring to a dihybrid cross.

The immune response requires a team effort. How do the specific and non-specific defenses work together? EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER.

kotegsom [21]

A non-specific immune response (also called immunity) is antigen-independent while a specific immune response is antigen-dependent. The examples of the non-specific immunity are fever, phagocytosis by macrophages, skin and mucus. The example of the specific immune response is cytotoxic T-cells able to recognize antigens on infected cells and kill them before the infection could spread.

What kind of plant tissue is not epidermis or vascular tissue?

pentagon [3]

It is ground tissue.
Plant's ground tissues are neither a vascular nor a dermal or dermis. Ground tissues can be divided into 3 categories based on the nature of walls' cell. It is Parenchyma - cells having a narrow and fine primary walls and remain alive when it matures, Collenchyma- cells having a narrow and fine primary walls in the other areas of secondary thickening; it gives extra structural and mechanical support specifically in the area wherein new growth happened, lastly is Sclerenchyma - cells having thick woody lignin inside cell walls and may sometimes die when matures; it gives structural support to a plant.
