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.

Because of genetic variation, a species of beetle has two different body colors, red and green. This species exists in a grassy
pshichka [43]

Answer:

1. Green beetles and red beetles exist in the environment.

2. Birds that eat the beetles move into the environment.

3. Red beetles are eaten by birds, but green beetles aren’t eaten.

4. Green beetles pass on their color trait to future offspring.

5. The entire population of beetles eventually becomes green in color.

Explanation:

According to the theory of natural selection, only those species survives which fits closely with their environment. According to the conditions given, there are two genetic variations of the same species based on the color, i.e. green and red. Initially, both red and green are living together in a grassland (green in color). Then, birds enter the same environment because they have food there (beetles). Now, green beetles will take a competitive advantage because of the color and avoid getting eaten by the birds. However, red beetles would be prominent and eaten fast. The green beetles will pass on their genetic variation causing the color to be green in their future offspring and a time will come when there will be on green beetles in the area.

Fill in the blank. Will give brainliest!
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Plants, glucose, ATP

Explanation:

In cellular respiration, Plants use glucose to make ATP. Bascially they breakdown the sugar to harvest ATP from it.

Here's the representation:

Disclaimer: The cells in both plants and animals perform respiration. Therefore, best answer is "Aerobic organism" for first blank but if your teacher has not been that specific then people usually learn about plants when talking about respiration.

A caterpillar has an exoskeleton and feeds on many leaves before it makes a cocoon and becomes a butterfly. Which type of organi
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

heterotroph and an invertebrate

Explanation:

Animals have been classified into being AUTOTROPHIC OR HETEROTROPHIC based on their nutrition while they are also classified as VERTEBRATE OR INVERTEBRATES based on their skeleton. A heterotrophic animal is one which depends on other organisms to obtain energy or food while an invertebrate is an animal that lacks a vertebrae column or backbone.

In this case, caterpillars are said to feed on many leaves before it makes a cocoon and becomes a butterfly. This means it relies on plants (leaves) for food, hence, it is HETEROTROPHIC. Also, it has an exoskeleton i.e. skeleton present outside the body. This means that it does not possess any bone inside to form the backbone, and hence it is an INVERTEBRATE.
