In collecting a dermal puncture specimen into a microcollection container, tapping the container on a hard surface is recommended as it will allow the blood to mix with the anticoagulant, if present.

What is dermal puncture?

  • A dermal (skin) puncture may be required when a venipuncture cannot be performed or may be the option of choice for some point-of-care test procedures.
  • The puncture is quick and standardized for puncture depth.
  • The procedure takes longer to complete. This delay in collection of the blood specimen could result in hemolysis or clotting of the blood or tissue fluid contamination of the specimen and specimen rejection by the laboratory.
  • The dermal puncture minimizes the amount of blood taken from the patient. This will be important to consider, especially with infants in an intensive care nursery.
  • Some laboratory tests require larger amounts of blood for testing; in these cases, capillary collection is not an option.
  • If a patient is dehydrated or has poor peripheral circulation, an adequate blood collection from a dermal puncture may not be possible.
  • When a dermal puncture is performed it should be noted on the requisition. The concentration of glucose may be higher in blood obtained by dermal puncture, and the concentrations of sodium, total protein, and calcium may be lower.

How can two organisms with a dominant trait for a specific feature produce an organism with a recessive trait for the same featu
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

If the two organisms are heterozygous for the dominant trait.

Explanation:

For every trait, a diploid organism receives two forms of gene called ALLELE, from each parent. Allele is the variant form of a gene.

According to Mendel's law of dominance, for a particular trait, an allele is capable of masking the expression of another allele in a gene. The expressed allele is called the DOMINANT allele while the masked allele is called the RECESSIVE allele. Due to this, an organism can express a dominant trait even in a combined or heterozygous state i.e. different alleles.

When the two heterozygous organisms mate or are crossed, they undergo meiosis and their alleles are separated into GAMETES according to Mendel's law of segregation. For example; an organism with genotype (genetic make-up) Aa will produce gametes with A and a alleles.

Note that, a recessive trait can only be expressed in a homozygous state i.e. same allele. Hence, the two heterozygous organisms will produce gametes containing the recessive allele, which will likely combine to produce a recessive phenotype or trait.
