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.

Minchanka [31]
Because it has the ability to get light, photosynthesis would happen. Since it is in an airtight jar, it will use all the CO2 in the jar until all the CO2 is gone and there is only Oxygen left. Photosynthesis's rate will decrease rapidly. After that, the plant will have no more energy since there is no CO2 to allow it to keep with photosynthesis, so it would die off.

How closely do Mendel insights into dominant and recessives traits match up with the ratios that punnett calculated in his Punne
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Perfectly in theory, except there is chance involved

Explanation:

The Punnet square is a diagram that allows scientists to predict the possible outcomes of the offspring when the genotypes of the parents are known. This is in line with Mendel's principles, and from a theoretical point of view would match up perfectly. However, it all works based on <em>probability</em>.

However, inheritance is always down to chance. Of your parents 2 alleles, you always have 50:50 chance of inheriting one of the allele. Overall, this is what is predicted in punnet squares.

However, think about flipping a coin. There is always 50:50 chance of getting heads, but that doesn't mean it is impossible to flip a coin and get tails 10 x in a row. It is just less likely. So in reality, observations might deviate from the theory.
