Received 2 liters of normal saline does hematocrit increase?

The saline distributes rapidly (within about 15 minutes) from the intravascular to the interstitial compartment. And there, it is stuck.

The cells have active pumps and the membrane is impermeable to sodium; similarly, chloride is trapped.
Because normal saline is isoosmotic with the extracellular fluid, water does not have any osmotic pressure to shift between compartments, and it distributes itself according to the proportional distribution of sodium (i.e. about 25% of it stays intravascular and 75% enters the interstitial fluid).

(This may not be entirely accurate. Because the osmolality of the extracellular fluid increases, some water undegoes a shift into the extracellular compartment. The new equilibrium point is 290.2 mOsm/L. To achieve this, a whole 25ml of water has to move up into the extracellular compartment. So, the intravascular volume increases not by 250ml, but by... 256ml. What a big difference that makes. In order to remain detached from pedantic hair-splitting, I have opted to omit this from all the further calculations.)

Plasma osmolality doesn't change much, because it has received a load of essentially isoosmolar fluid.
<span>You will notice that the osmolality of the compartments increases by 0.2 mmol/L from your maths; but the osmoreceptors dont care.</span>

Answer:

Incomplete dominance

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance is the expression of phenotype of two paired alleles (i.e dominant and recessive allele) all together.

Usually when two alleles get paired, the characteristics of the dominant allele is expressed while the characteristics associated with recessive alleles are expressed only when the two recessive allele get paired.

Here in this case the characteristics of both type of allele are expressed i.e. both orange and purple strips appear in the offspring. Hence, this case shows the incomplete dominance.

What would happen to the Earth and the moon if gravity did not exist.
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

If the Earth suddenly had no gravity, the Earth’s atmosphere would float into space. Everything not attached to the Earth would fly off into space. Things like trees and most buildings would remain because they are rooted. Since the Earth, itself, is held together by gravity, it would most probably break apart into chunks and float off.

Which graph représents selection that may lead to reduced variatior
rewona [7]

The SECOND graph represents selection that may lead to reduced variation. It is an example of stabilizing selection.

<h3>What is Stabilizing selection?  </h3>

Stabilizing selection is a type of natural selection that leads to a  decrease in the genetic variation of the population.

In Stabilizing selection, natural selection tends to favor an average phenotype and then can remove (select) extreme variations.

Stabilizing selection generates a modified bell curve graph in which the central portion is narrower and it is taller than the normal distribution bell shape.
