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.

In a large population of plants, notches in the leaves are caused by a dominant allele N and lack of notches by a recessive alle
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

If the population is in equilibrium, the allele frequencies will be constant.

There is nothing about the heritability of dominant or recessive alleles that make dominant ones any more likely by nature. This rules out choices A and B.

Genetic drift mentioned in D refers to alleles leaving a population. Nothing like this was mentioned in the question, so count that answer out.

C is the only remaining answer by process of elimination. It is also the most logical choice. Directional selection refers to a process of natural selection wherein extreme phenotypes (notched leaves, or non-notched leaves) are favored. In this case, there may be some external pressure causing notched leaf plants to be more evolutionarily fit, meaning that they survive long enough to reproduce more and increase allele frequency of the dominant allele.

boyakko [2]

Answer:

The Active transport along cytoskeletal filaments.

Explanation:

Cytoskeletal filaments incorporate microfilament, microtubules and intermediate filament which take into consideration faster transport than diffusion as they support cell division and the basis of movement. The active transport also maintain the right concentrations of molecules and ions within living cells.
