Step 1: Understanding the types of cells.
T cells and B cells are types of white blood cells involved in the immune response. Both are classified as lymphocytes.
Step 2: Analyzing the options.
(A) lymphocytes: Correct — T cells and B cells are both types of lymphocytes, a category of white blood cells.
(B) erythrocytes: Incorrect — Erythrocytes are red blood cells, not involved in immunity.
(C) epithelial cells: Incorrect — Epithelial cells form tissues lining organs but do not play a direct role in immunity.
(D) squamous cells: Incorrect — Squamous cells are a type of epithelial cell.
Step 3: Conclusion.
The correct answer is (A) lymphocytes.
Identify the taxa that constitute a paraphyletic group in the given phylogenetic tree.
The vector, shown in the figure, has promoter and RBS sequences in the 300 bp region between the restriction sites for enzymes X and Y. There are no other sites for X and Y in the vector. The promoter is directed towards the Y site. The insert containing only an ORF provides 3 fragments after digestion with both enzymes X and Y. The ORF is cloned in the correct orientation in the vector using the single restriction enzyme Y. The size of the largest fragment of the recombinant plasmid expressing the ORF upon digestion with enzyme X is ........... bp. (answer in integer)
