Answer:

For erythropoesis/ RBC production, anaemia

Explanation:

Our body needs a constant supply of blood. The blood contains haemoglobin which is a respiratory pigment and a conjugated protein. It contains iron and globin protein. This iron-containing pigment supplies more oxygen to the tissues and gives red colour to the blood. The deficiency of iron or this haemoglobin pigment in the blood leads to anaemia. The iron pigment or haem pigment of haemoglobin increases the carrying capacity of oxygen. Our body tissue needs oxygen for metabolism.We get iron from foods and these irons play an important role in RBC production in the bone marrow.

The respiratory system always needs iron. The red blood cells are in charge of the transport of O2. They need iron to do this. 

Hope this helps! :)

A frameshift mutation that occurs very early in a protein sequence would have what effect on the protein's structure? see sectio
ExtremeBDS [4]
I think a frameshift mutation that occurs very early in a protein sequence would have an effect on the structure of the protein such that the primary, secondary, and tertiary structures would be altered. A frameshift mutation occurs when a protein is drastically altered because of an insertion or a deletion. Insertions and deletions cause a change in the length of a gene, which causes a shift in the codon reading frame.

What environmental stimulus is most likely to result in a more rapid heartbeat in an animal?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

This question is incomplete, the options are:

A) Decreased temperature

B) Strong southerly winds

C) Presence of a predator

D) Lack of water

The answer is C

Explanation:

A stimulus is something that provokes a response or reaction in a living organism. It can either be internal or external. An animal can respond to stimulus such as hunger, heat, predator etc.

However, among all the listed stimuli in the options, the PRESENCE OF A PREDATOR is most likely to result in a more rapid heartbeat in an animal. This is because the predator stimulus will require the animal to respond by running in order to survive. Running will increase its metabolic activity and cause its heartbeat to increase.
