During bleeding, both formed elements (platelets, white blood cells, red blood cells) and plasma are lost from the circulatory system. They are lost proportionally, so initially there is no change in hematocrit.

Hematocrit is the percentage of the blood volume made up of elements (Hct = cell volume/blood volume). During dehydration, only water and electrolytes are lost, and the number of cells remains constant - the same number of cells in a smaller volume leads to an increase in hematocrit. When the body tries to restore blood volume, the first thing to recirculate is water from the ECF and this increases the amount of water without increasing the amount of red blood cells, so the compensatory mechanism causes the hematocrit to fall.

kondaur [170]

Answer:

The likely genetics will be incomplete dominance for such a phenomenon.

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance occurs when the dominant allele is not fully or completely showing dominance over the recessive allele.

When parents with such alleles are crossed, the resulting offsprings will show a physical trait which is intermediate and different from both of the parents.

In the scenario discussed in the question, the red colored mother and the white colored father are producing offspring that have light red coat. This is because the red color is not completely dominant over the white color. Hence, an intermediate light red color is seen in the offspring.

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer: Option D.

The transfer of the methyl group from adomet to an acceptor yields s adenosylhomocysteine.

Explanation:

S- adenosine methionine is a co substrate and one of the naturally occurring sulfonium ions in the body. It is synthesized from methionine which is abundant in animal derived protein. It is metabolised in the liver where it is converted to S adenosine methionine by the enzyme methionine adenosyltransferase. It involve the transfer of methyl group. It is use in medicine as alternative aid to reduce depression.
