Women who take folic acid pills during pregnancy have about half the probability of having a child with autism as compared to other women. Autism is a range of conditions that are characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and non verbal communications, as well as by unique strengths and differences. Folic acid is very important as it helps the body make healthy new cells.

<u>Chlorophyll</u> - Any of a group of green pigments that are found in the chloroplasts of plants and in other photosynthetic organisms such as cyanobacteria.

<u>Chloroplast</u> - An organelle found in the cells of green plants and in photosynthetic algae, where photosynthesis takes place.  

<u>Bryophyte</u> - Any plant of the division Bryophyta, defined "sensu lato" to comprise the mosses, liverworts, and hornworts, and corresponding to all embryophytes that are not vascular plants.

<u>Pterophyte</u> - It is characterized as any fern(seedless plant) that is a division of Pteridophyta.

<u>Phloem</u> - A vascular tissue in land plants primarily responsible for the distribution of sugars and the nutrients manufactured in the shoot.

<u>Roots</u> - The part of the plant which is generally underground that anchors and supports the plant body. It absorbs and stores water and nutrients, and in some plants is able to perform vegetative propagation.

<u>Root hairs</u> - The rhizoid of a vascular plant or a tabular outgrowth of a trichoblast, hair-forming cell on the epidermis of a plant root.

<u>Stems</u> - The above-ground stalk of a vascular plant that supports individual parts of a plant like leaves, flower, fruits, etc.

<u>Leaves</u> - The green and flat organ that represents the most prominent feature of the most vegetative plants.

​(f) contact a local hospital and ask them the percentage of the population that is blood type o. why might the results​ differ?
Fudgin [204]
Contacting a local hospital and asking them the percentage of the population that has blood type O will generate different results. 

The factors that we have to consider why there is differing results are:
1) location of the hospital
2) nationality of their patients
3) number of their patients

I am assuming that the population that question is referring to is the number of patients in the local hospital. The bigger the population, the smaller the effect a unit has on the whole and vice versa. 

I read an article that states that 37% of the U.S. population has O+ blood type. These people are usually of Hispanic descent or some Asian descent. So, if a hospital is in a locality that has a majority of Hispanic or Asian patients, its percentage will be higher than a hospital that is located in a Caucasian-populated area. 

Aside from Type O+ (most common), blood types also include: O-, A+, A-, B+, B-, AB+, and AB- (rarest blood type)
