Assume that the red blood cell counts of women are normally distributed with a mean of 4.577 million cells per microliter and a

standard deviation of 0.382 million cells per microliter. Approximately what percentage of women have red blood cell counts in the normal range from 4.2 to 5.4 million cells per​ microliter? Round to two decimal places. A. ​16.11% B. ​17.69% C. ​82.26% D. ​4.09%

Answer:  C. ​82.26%

Explanation:

Given :  The red blood cell counts of women are normally distributed with

\mu=4.577\text{ million cells per microliter}

\sigma=0.382\text{ million cells per microliter}

Let X be the random variable that represents the red blood cell counts of randomly selected woman.

Z-score : z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

For X=4.2

z=\dfrac{4.2-4.577}{0.382}\approx-0.99

For X=5.4

z=\dfrac{5.4-4.577}{0.382}\approx2.1544

Now, the probability that the women have red blood cell counts in the normal range from 4.2 to 5.4 million cells per​ microliter will be :-

P(4.2

Hence, 82.26% of women have red blood cell counts in the normal range from 4.2 to 5.4 million cells per​ microliter.

Explanation:

Causes

To understand diabetes, first you must understand how glucose is normally processed in the body.

How insulin works

Insulin is a hormone that comes from a gland situated behind and below the stomach (pancreas).

The pancreas secretes insulin into the bloodstream.

The insulin circulates, enabling sugar to enter your cells.

Insulin lowers the amount of sugar in your bloodstream.

As your blood sugar level drops, so does the secretion of insulin from your pancreas.

The role of glucose

Glucose — a sugar — is a source of energy for the cells that make up muscles and other tissues.

Glucose comes from two major sources: food and your liver.

Sugar is absorbed into the bloodstream, where it enters cells with the help of insulin.

Your liver stores and makes glucose.

When your glucose levels are low, such as when you haven't eaten in a while, the liver breaks down stored glycogen into glucose to keep your glucose level within a normal range.

Causes of type 1 diabetes

The exact cause of type 1 diabetes is unknown. What is known is that your immune system — which normally fights harmful bacteria or viruses — attacks and destroys your insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. This leaves you with little or no insulin. Instead of being transported into your cells, sugar builds up in your bloodstream.

Type 1 is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic susceptibility and environmental factors, though exactly what those factors are is still unclear. Weight is not believed to be a factor in type 1 diabetes.

Causes of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes

In prediabetes — which can lead to type 2 diabetes — and in type 2 diabetes, your cells become resistant to the action of insulin, and your pancreas is unable to make enough insulin to overcome this resistance. Instead of moving into your cells where it's needed for energy, sugar builds up in your bloodstream.

Exactly why this happens is uncertain, although it's believed that genetic and environmental factors play a role in the development of type 2 diabetes too. Being overweight is strongly linked to the development of type 2 diabetes, but not everyone with type 2 is overweight.

Causes of gestational diabetes

During pregnancy, the placenta produces hormones to sustain your pregnancy. These hormones make your cells more resistant to insulin.

Normally, your pancreas responds by producing enough extra insulin to overcome this resistance. But sometimes your pancreas can't keep up. When this happens, too little glucose gets into your cells and too much stays in your blood, resulting in gestational diabetes.

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Mitosis is the cell division in which a single is divided into the two daughter cells. The genetic constituent remain same in this type of division and known as equational division.

Four phases of mitosis are metaphase, prophase, anaphase and telophase. Prophase is the first stage in which the nuclear envelope disintegrates. The cohesion joins the sister chromatid together. In metaphase stage the chromosomes gets arranged at the metaphase plate and microtubules are attached to the kinetochores. The cohesin break downs and the sister chromatid moves towards the opposite poles at the anaphase stage. The telophase stage results in the formation o the nuclear envelope and spindle microtubules disassemble at this stage.
