24 hours is the maximum amount of time that agitation of platelets can be stopped.

<h3>What are platelets?</h3>

Platelets are pieces of very large cells in the bone marrow called megakaryocytes. They aid in the formation of blood clots that help wounds heal and to slow or stop bleeding. It can be problematic to have platelets that are too many, too few, or aren't functioning properly.

Platelets' main job is to stop and prevent bleeding. The body sends signals to platelets that direct them to the affected location when a blood artery is damaged. Adults typically have between 150,000 and 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood, which is considered normal. Less than 150,000 platelets per microliter indicate a low platelet count. People with thrombocytopenia have low platelet levels. We can bleed heavily and bruise easily if our platelet counts are low.

Explain why the chromosomes in the haploid cells that are produced by meiosis I look different than those produced by meiosis II
scoundrel [369]
In meiosis one, homologous chromosomes only separate resulting in two cells. In meiosis II, the cells divide further, separating sister chromatids and resulting in four cells. So the cells are just even smaller with less chromosomes in each one.

Pigmented eyes (P) are dominant to non-pigmented (p), and dimpled chins (D) are dominant to Non-dimpled chins (d). A pigment-eye
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

PpDD and PpDd

Explanation:

Pigmented eyes (P) are dominant to non-pigmented (p), and dimpled chins (D) are dominant to Non-dimpled chins (d).

The <u>possible genotypes of a pigment-eyed, dimple-chinned person</u> would be  PPDD, PpDd, PPDd, PpDD while a blue-eyed person without a dimpled chin would have the genotype ppdd.

The genotype of a blue-eyed, dimpled chin child would be either of ppDd or ppDD, but in this case, the mother is ppdd and as such, the child cannot have two copies of D allele. Hence, the genotype of the child can only be ppDd.

In order for the child to have blue eyes (pp), it means that the father has to have the non-pigmented allele (p). This also means that the father is heterozygous for eye pigmentation (Pp).

<em>Hence, the genotype of the father is now limited to </em><em>PpDD</em> <em>and </em><em>PpDd</em>.

1. Digital signals carry less information per second.
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

2. Information can be stored for future recovery.

3. Digital signals can be transmitted over long distances.

Explanation:

This world is moving towards digitalization. The digital signals are able to transmit the data over long distance. This has squeezed the world information and the data are run to distant places within seconds. The information on digital signals can be stored for later use.
