Answer:

RBCs' production is controlled by erythropoietin.

Mature RBCs are released into the bloodstream after approximately seven days RBCs are produced in the bone marrow

Explanation:

The hormone erythropoietin is produced and released in the bloodstream by peritubular interstitial cells of kidneys. The function of erythropoietin is to increase the number of the precursors of red blood cells and thereby to stimulate the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow. When the oxygen supply to body cells is reduced, the hormone erythropoietin stimulates the development of proerythroblasts into reticulocytes and thereby increases the RBC production.

RBCs are produced by the process of erythropoiesis and take about seven days to become mature and to be released in circulation to serve the function of oxygen delivery. The maturation of RBCs also includes the loss of most of the organelles such as the nucleus and mitochondria to accommodate hemoglobin protein. The life span of circulating RBCs is about 100-120 days.

Which would most likely produce a mutation that is passed on to offspring
melisa1 [442]
You didn't give the options for "which" but I assume your multiple choice questions will all be environmental factors that can cause mutations. To pass on to offspring, any mutation in the gametes or a chromosome may cause a mutation in the offspring.

NEED HELP ASAP, WILL GIVE BRAINLY
Bingel [31]

Answer:

4. (answered below); 5. 66.2; 6. (answered below)

Explanation:

4. The individual's heart rate increased because the individual needs more oxygen supplied to their muscles so the heart has to pump the oxygenated blood through the body at a faster rate.

5. Take average of the number of the pulse before exercise:

(68 + 70 + 54 + 64 + 75) / 5 = 66.2

6. Different individuals are different sizes and are in different states of health. An individual who is more physically fit will have a slower rate rate because their heart muscle is "exercised" or worked more and pumps blood more efficiently.
