Phenotype Number of progeny

Short/purple flowers 350
Short/white flowers 87
Tall/white flowers 313

A. More progeny should be counted since the number of progeny is too low to make this type of analysis
B. The chi square value is so close to the p value at 0.05 a conclusion should not be drawn and another mating should be performed
C. The results are statistically the same as the expected results
D. The results are statistically significantly different than the expected results

Why would a person who has their tonsils removed be more susceptible to certain types of infections of the throat and respiratory tract?

A. Tonsils produce high levels of lactoferrin, a strong natural antibacterial compound. B. Tonsils produce large amounts of interferons, natural antiviral compounds. C. Tonsils are secondary lymphoid organs-they help to provide a constant response to the microbes in the oral cavity, helping to keep them in check and preventing them from spreading to other areas. D. Tonsils are the location where T cells develop and mature. Without them, a person won't have T cells, and will be more likely to suffer from infections that would normally be eliminated by such cells.
