Patient A is suffering from anemia, due to underproduction of hemoglobin
Explanation:
Patient A’s blood cell count:
Hemoglobin: 5g/dL
RBC: 4.6 x 106 cells/ml
WBC: 15,000 cells/ml
Platelets: 250,000
Results inferred from the count: Low hemoglobin, low normal RBC, high WBC, normal platelets count
Hemophilia is an inherited blood clotting disorder, where due to excessive bleeding, blood hemoglobin, RBC, and platelets can go lower. The low hemoglobin is due excessive loss of blood and not due to underproduction of hemoglobin. Moreover, patient A’s platelet count is normal. Hence, hemophilia can be ruled out.
Since the hemoglobin and RBC count is low, it clearly indicates low production of these blood cell components, leading to anemia. However, the increase in WBC leads can be due any other underlying medical conditions like infections, hemolytic anemia, leukemia etc.

Answer:
Spring Tides.
Explanation:
Tides can be defined as the rise and fall of water level in water bodies such as lakes and oceans due to the gravitational force of attraction exerted by the moon on earth. The side closest to the moon creates a bulge of water known as high tide. Low tides are generally experienced when a sea level is not within the bulge.
Generally, the gravitational pull of the Moon cause visible changes on planet Earth's surface.
This ultimately implies that, the pull of the Moon's gravity causes high and low tides on planet Earth's surface.
The various types of ocean tides based on the position of the Earth, Moon and the Sun are;
I. Neap tides.
II. Spring tides.
III. Low tide.
IV. High tide.
V. Brown tide.
VI. Rip tide.
VII. Red tide.
There are three main ocean zones based on distance from shore. They are the intertidal zone, neritic zone, and oceanic zone. Distance from shore influences how many nutrients are in the water. Most nutrients are washed into ocean water from land. Therefore, water closer to shore tends to have more nutrients. Living things need nutrients. So distance from shore also influences how many organisms live in the water.
