Erythropoiesis is the formation of the red blood cells a process which takes place in the bone marrow. All blood cells are formed in the bone marrow, a soft, highly cellular tissue that fills the internal cavities of the long bones. It takes place in 8 stages where the first seven steps takes place within the bone marrow and after the 7th step the red blood cell is released into the blood stream as reticulocyte which then matures to erythrocyte after 1-2 days.
Answer:
1/8 (12.5%)
Explanation:
An autosomal recessive disease is an inherited disease in which an individual need to receive both defective alleles at the same gene <em>locus</em> to be expressed in the phenotype. In this case, both parents are carriers of the recessive mutant allele associated with the sickle cell anaemia trait, thereby both parents are heterozygous, ie., each parent has one copy of the normal allele 'H' and one copy of the defective mutant allele 'h' associated with this condition. In consequence, their first child has a 1/4 (25%) chance of having sickle-cell anaemia. Moreover, the chance of having a girl is 1/2 and the chance of having a boy is 1/2, thereby the final chance of having a girl sickle cell anaemia individual is 1/4 x 1/2 = 1/8 (12.5%).
- Parental cross for sickle cell anaemia trait = Hh x Hh >>
- F1 = 1/4 HH (normal); 1/2 Hh (normal); 1/4 hh (sickle cell anaemia) >>
- Sex proportion of sickle cell anaemia individuals = 1/8 female sickle cell anaemia individuals + 1/8 male sickle cell anaemia individuals (1/8 + 1/8 = 1/4)
Answer:
C. It is driven by natural processes like rock weathering and nitrogen fixation.
Explanation:
It has been discovered that eutrophication occurs through a gradual increase in the deposition of phosphorus and nitrogen and other plants nutrients in the water bodies.
This will allow the maximum growth of algae on the surface of the water.
It has been discovered that eutrophication is not good for the water bodies. This is because, the excess growth of algae on the surface of the water will prevent the sunlight from penetrating the water, thereby preventing the plants inside the water from making use of the sunlight to carryout photosynthesis. Also, it will prevent oxygen from entering, thereby depriving the organisms in the water from having the necessary oxygen needed for respiration.

Answer:
They have the same concentration.
Explanation:
Isotonic, by definition, means that the two solutions are of equal concentration
