Blood clots form when platelets and plasma proteins thicken to form a sort of solid mass. They can form from an injury, blood flowing slowly through your system, or even for no obvious reason.

The heating curve of an ice-water mixture that is slowly heated to 125°C contains three sloped and two level portions. What do t
scZoUnD [109]
The 2 level portion in the graph represents the changing of state.

Every substance has internal energy, which includes kinetic energy and potential energy. Kinetic energy means the temperature, and the potential energy means the bondings or attractions.

When a substance is heated up, they first increase their temperature as the same state. For example, the ice starts at - 5 °C, they won't start melting immediately as they're not at their melting point yet. Instead, they first absorb heat and increase their temperature to 0°C. This is same for when water increase their temperature until their boiling point. Their kinetic energy is increasing, but potential energy is unchanged as they stay at the same state. That's why the slope is increasing.

However, but once the ice or water has reached their melting or boiling point, they have to go through a state change. During that time, they do not increase their temperature (K.E. unchanged) . Instead, the heat they absorbed is used to increase the potential energy to break the bonds and turn into another state. The heat absorbed is called latent heat.

This explains why in the graph, there's 2 level portions, as the substance is going through a state change and increasing their potential energy instead of their kinetic energy (temperature)

Tay-Sachs, which is a recessive lethal disease, results only when individuals possess two copies of the disease-causing allele.
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

a. Heterozygous individuals may pass on their copy of the disease-causing allele to offspring.

Explanation:

Tay-Sachs, which is a recessive lethal disease  ---- Let say the recessive lethal diseases is s

∴ it only results when an individual posses two copies of the diseases-causing allele i.e two copies of the disease will be ss.

Now, when two hetrozygous individuals crossed , it is obvious that each can pass on their copy of the disease-causing allele to the offspring.

Let show an illustration for the above statement.

Let the heterozygous individual be Ts, if Ts cross with another Ts;

we will have:

Ts × Ts

         T          s

T        TT        Ts

s        Ts          ss

the offspring are TT,Ts,Ts,ss

We can now see how the Heterozygous individuals pass on their copy of the disease-causing allele to the offspring (Ts).

A horse has 64 chromosomes and a donkey has 62. Using your knowledge of meiosis, explain why a cross between a horse and a donke
nlexa [21]
Ok, so when a horse (with 64 chromosomes) is crossed with a donkey(that has 62 chromosomes), each parent give its child half of its chromosomes. [64/2=32] [62/2=31]. So the mule gets 31 pairs of chromosomes plus 32 pairs of chromosomes. That equals 63 total chromosomes. In order to be a parent, it must give <span>half of its chromosomes to its child. [63/2=31.5] You can't have half a chromosome, so the mule is a sterile organism. Let me know if you have questions.</span>

select one of the main body systems and explain why it is essential to keep the whole body functioning
tatiyna
Circulatory system: 

--The circulatory system is also known as the cardiovascular system. 
-- It is composed of the heart, blood, blood vessels and also includes the lungs. 

The primary function of the circulatory system to distribute oxygen, nutrients, hormones and other gases to cells of the other body systems. It delivers all the necessary components needed for all the cell activities. Without the circulatory system, we would not be alive. 

It is our blood that carries these necessary nutrients, hormones, and oxygen. All these components trigger certain processes that keep other organs functioning. It also plays a role in eliminating waste by carrying them to the necessary organs that will filter them out. Without a way to dispose of waste, the body will eventually die.
