Read the paragraph from the section "Pea Plants And The Punnett Square." A pea plant could have one copy of the height gene that coded for "tall" and one copy of the height gene that coded for
"short." The tall allele is "dominant," and this means that it can mask the other allele. The short allele is called
"recessive." The allele combination of tall-short would result in a tall plant since the tall allele is dominant.
Which option is the BEST definition of the word "mask" as used in the paragraph above?

Holozoic nutrition refers to the regular animal nutrition mode whereas saprophytic nutrition refers to the nutrition mode of fungi and bacteria.

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.
