Summary Introduction
To review:
The connection behind smoking and the gathering of phagocytic cells in the lungs of smokers.
Introduction:
Phagocytosis can be defined as the process by which a cell engulfs and digests macromolecules and other particles. Macrophages and certain types of white blood cells are some phagocytic cells of the human body, and hence they hunt down the foreign particles by phagocytosis.

There is a species of eagle, which lives in a tropical forest in Brazil. The alula pattern of its wings is determined by a single autosomal gene with four alleles that exhibit an unknown hierarchy of dominance. Genetic testing shows that individuals 1-1, 11-4, 11-7, III-1, and III-4 are each homozygous.
How many possible genotypes among checkered eagles in the population?
