Answer: After seven months.

Explanation:

The blood carries various substances that must be transported from one part of the body to another. Red blood cells are an important component of the blood because their function is to carry oxygen to the body tissues and exchange it for carbon dioxide, which is carried and removed by the lungs.

Erythropoiesis is the process of red blood cell (erythrocyte) production. It is stimulated by a decrease in O2 in the circulation, detected by the kidneys, which then secretes the hormone erythropoietin. This hormone stimulates the proliferation and differentiation of red blood cell precursors, which triggers an increase in erythropoiesis in hematopoietic tissues and ultimately in the production of red blood cells. In adults, red blood cells are formed in the red bone marrow.

In early developing fetuses, erythropoiesis occurs in the mesodermal cells of the yolk sac. In the third or fourth month, erythropoiesis moves to the liver. After seven months, erythropoiesis occurs in the bone marrow.

Answer:

Option B, After Dried

Explanation:

All biological fluids such as blood, semen, saliva etc. are not collected from the crime scene when they are wet or moist. Since, we all aware that all human beings are genetically distinct hence if these fluids are tested after they dry up, no specific impact can occur on the sample and the test result. Also collecting dry sample is much easy and comfortable. The dried samples undergo DNA analysis there by producing a genetic profile which is specific to individuals

Hence, option A is correct
