Which option describes the likely result of the damage in the following scenario? During the process of germination, the radicle of a dicot seed is damaged by gnawing rodents.
O hypocotyl growth will be slowed or stopped
O the cotyledon will fail to open and provide nourishment
O root growth will be slowed or stopped
O germination will halt

answer: - b cells

explanation: -

there are many types of white blood cells present in our body. one such class of white blood cells are the lymphocytes. the b cells belong to the lymphocyte class of wbcs. the b cells perform their action against the pathogen by producing specialised proteins called as antibodies. these antibodies are produced as and when the b cells encounter pathogens in response to the antigens present on the surface of the pathogen. these antibodies bind to the antigens present on the pathogen and then, target them for destruction by other cells of the immune system.

so, the b cells mediate their action by identifying the antigens present on the surface of the pathogens and then producing antibodies in return to mediate its effect.

Ther are many reasons.. is it a multiple choice?

The answer is b, as with an inference you make a statement with no evidence
