Answer is 55%.

Blood is fluid connective tissue that consists of two main components, plasma and formed element. Blood plasma is a clear extracellular fluid, which is a mixture of proteins, enzymes, nutrients, wastes, hormones and gases. Formed elements are made up of the blood cells (red blood cells and white blood cells) and platelets. All formed elements are cells except for the platelets, which are tiny fragments of bone marrow cells.

The formed elements can be separated from plasma by centrifuge. On separation of blood components, it is evident that formed elements make up 45% of total blood volume while the plasma makes up 55% of the total volume.

A cluster of tumor cells that produces and secretes growth factors to induce surrounding cells to grow and divide is showing paracrine type of cell-to-cell signaling.

<h3>Paracrine signalling : </h3>

it is a type of the cell signaling.

it ptomotes cellular communication in which a cell produce a signal to induce change in the nearby cells.also altering the behavior of these cells.

Example neurotransmitters.

<h3>What is cell signaling? </h3>

It is type of signaling process through which one cell can communicate with another cell.

It can be intercellular or intracellular.

Cell signalling molecules are of 5 types: they are

Intracrine signaling, Autocrine signaling, Juxtacrine signaling, Paracrine signaling ,Endocrine signaling

it involves both mechanical and biochemical pathway for signaling.

cell signaling strats at the binding of signal molecules to the receptors, then signal transduction where chemical signal activates the enzyme and final step is the collection of response.

When looking at the inheritance of a single character, Mendel found that a cross between two true-breeding peas (between purple
viva [34]

Answer:

All progeny with heterozygous dominant genotype

Explanation:

Mendel crossed two pure breeding pea plants with respect to one genetic trait. He found that the F1 progeny obtained by crossing two pure breeding parent plants is always heterozygous dominant. The phenotype of the F1 progeny was always the phenotype of the dominant pure breeding parent plant.

For instance, purple flower color is a dominant trait over the white flower color in pea plants. When he crossed a pure breeding purple-flowered pea plant (PP) with a pure breeding white-flowered pea plant (pp), the F1 progeny was expressed the phenotype of the dominant parent and had purple flowers. The genotype of the F1 plants was Ww (heterozygous dominant).
