how to look for genetic patterns in a pedigree
In: Biology
1. Following an infection (or injury) in some tissue, __1__ are released by cells, which triggers a(n) __2__.
One result is the recruitment of __3__, which is part of __4__.
These cells engulf the __5__ in a __6__.
This structure then fuses with a __7__ forming a complex structure called a __8__.
Inside, the pathogen is __9__ and the remnants are expulsed as __10__.
Some of the cells performing this task are __11__, which hold on to some pathogen remnants with its __12__ protein.

Please answer thoroughly
Step 1 – Define and compare the terms species, population and ecosystem.
Step 2– Give typical examples (cases) of the terms you have defined above.
Step 3-Show the relationship between the above terms.
