a rouleau (rouleaux)

<h3>What is a rouleau?</h3>

Red blood cells (RBCs) can stack up or aggregate into rouleaux (singular: rouleau), which are formed by the distinct discoid shape of vertebrate cells. The discoid RBCs' flat surface offers them a lot of surface area to cling to and make contact with, creating a rouleau. Because of them, the ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) increases when the plasma protein concentration is high. This serves as an all-purpose indicator of sickness.

Infections, multiple myeloma, Waldenström's macroglobulinemia, inflammatory and connective tissue disorders, and malignancies are among the illnesses that can result in rouleaux production. As one of the causes of microvascular occlusion in diabetic retinopathy, it also occurs in diabetes mellitus.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I see at least three answers here that could potentially be correct, however I believe the best possible answer would be D. they distribute heat around the planet and are a major factor influencing the climate around the globe. 

(The other two possibly correct answers would be A. and B. Animals such as Sea turtles will use the ocean currents as a means of quicker transportation and navigation. Sailors would also use the currents as a means of quicker transportation and navigation, however that is not required today with modern technological advances.)<span />

For all questions, assume that you have genes for beak color, tail-feather length, and feather color all linked (located) on the
Effectus [21]

1. If we cross YyLl (heterozygous parent with dominant traits) with yyll (homozygous parent with recessive traits)

P:  YyLl  x  yyll

F1 generation: YyLl: 400 Yyll: 100 yyLl: 100 yyll: 400

Recombinant offspring are those children whose genes contain a non-parental allele combination  (neither allele group is directly inherited from either parent). This happens when genes are located on the same chromosome but are so far apart from one another so that their alleles get crossed over during meiosis. In this case, Yyll and yyLl are the recombinant.

2. Calculation of distance between Y and L.  

The numbers of the two recombinant types is 200 (100 Yyll + 100 yyLl) and 800 parental offspring.

Total number of offspring is 1000.

So: 200/1000*100=20 map units.

There is 20 percent recombinant offspring frequency.

How was genetic engineering able to solve the problem of tomatoes being damaged in transit without sacrificing taste?
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

The genetic engineering produced on these tomatoes was the solution to reduce the amount of chemical usage to crops as well as introducing a greater disease resistance, insect resistance, and increase shelf life. Conclusively, scientists and farmers still wanted to keep their natural color and flavor, yet change it into a more positive way. 70 years ago, spoke of the dangers of nightshade foods, covering all this ground, and stating that traditionally in South America, where potatoes and tomatoes come from they were eaten as medicine – that is given specifically for a short period time for a specific condition.

Hope this helped you!
