When does fetal erythrocyte production shift from the liver to the bone marrow?

Biology
1 answer:
vichka [17]3 years ago
6 0

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. <u>In adults, red blood cells are formed in the red bone marrow.</u>

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.

How does a single change in nitrogen base alter the formation of a protein
jasenka [17]


During translation to RNA, the nitrogen bases on the DNA molecule are translated to complementary RNA bases. Afterwards, these bases are again used to form amino acids.
Three bases make up a codon, which codes for a specific amino acid. If a base is changed, the codon will become changed. This will result in a different amino acid being produced in and the primary structure of the polypeptide will be altered.

What is true of saturated fatty acids?
Misha Larkins [42]
Saturated fatty acids are 'saturated' with hydrogen meaning they contain the maximum number of hydrogen. This causes them to be straight on the molecular level, allowing them to be packed close together other saturated fatty acids. Thus, they tend to be solids at room temperature. Examples of saturated fats are butter and the solid white fat you see on raw meat.
