Phagocytosis that is the name given to the process of ingestion of foreign particles by macrophages. In human body the white blood cells does this function. Macrophages is found in all the tissues. Any foreign particle entering the body is engulfed by this process hence protecting the organisms.

Once a bacteria enters the body it is at once detected and recognised as the foreign particle. Then it is attached to the phagocyte. Then it is engulfed into a vesicle called phagosome. Then this is killed by the process of phagocytosis.

You are a dog breeder and are interested in two traits that you believe are inherited by simple genetic loci glossy (G) coat is

Paul [167]

Answer:

GL, Gl, gL, and gl

Explanation:

The mom is glossy long haired. Since glossy (G) is dominant over to dull (g) and long hair (L) is dominant to short hair (l), the possible genotypes of the mom would be:

GGLL, GgLL, GGLl, or GgLl

The dad is dull and short haired, the genotype would be ggll.

GGLL x ggll

Progeny = all GgLl (all glossy long haired)

GgLL x ggll

Progeny = 8 GgLl, 8 ggLi (glossy long haired and dull long haired)

GGLl x ggll

Progeny = 8 GgLl, 8 Ggll (glossy long haired and glossy short haired)

GgLl x ggll

Progeny = 4 GgLl, 4 Ggll, 4 ggLl, 4 ggll (glossy long, glossy short, dull long, and dull short)

Only a cross of ggll with GgLl produced the offspring that cover the phenotypic range shown in the illustration. Hence, the genotype of the mom is GgLl.

The parental gametes produced by the mom would be; GL, Gl, gL, and gl

Thiobacillus denitrificans is a species of bacteria that obtains its energy from carbon dioxide and inorganic compounds such as

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - nitrficiation, denitrification, nitrogen fixation, and decomposition.

Explanation:

Thiobacillus denitrification is a facultative, obligate chemolithoautotrophic anaerobic bacterium that is well known for its ability to couple the oxidation of inorganic sulfur-based compounds to denitrification.

The name of the bacterium is derived from its function or the metabolic ability as it performs denitrification on thio (sulfur) based inorganic compounds by the process of oxidation. This process helps in bioremediate groundwater by these processes of nitrogen fixation by oxidation of inorganic compounds of sulfur.

Thus, the correct answer is - nitrification, denitrification, nitrogen fixation, and decomposition.
