In spherocytosis, there is a defect in the membrane proteins of the red blood cells, specifically ankyrin and spectrin. These membrane proteins contribute to the biconcave shape of red blood cells therefore the loss of these proteins will lead the red blood cells to lose its biconcave shape--leading to abnormally shaped red blood cells (spheres) hence the name. This can lead to premature destruction of red blood cells and jaundice due to hyperbilirubinemia. Spherocytes do not hold oxygen and carbon dioxide well as spherocytes have a decreased surface area.

Anne was observing a cell under a microscope which was undergoing binary fission. Which type of cell was Anne observing? 1 Eukar
exis [7]
3 is the answer.  

Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction and is the most common method of reproduction in prokaryotes. It may occur in some unicellular (single- celled) eukaryotes..

Eukaryotes use sexual recombination during reproduction to create or generate genetic variation and thus the resulting offspring will have a mixture of the parents' genetic characteristics. 


Prokaryotes on the other hand will simply produce clones of themeslves through binary fisson. After the process of replicating its own genetic material, the  prokaryote  simply divides into two daughter cells that are almost identical in size and that concludes the process.

Which shows the correct descending order of hierarchical classification?
Allisa [31]
Categories within taxonomic classification are arranged in increasing specificity.<span>The most general category in taxonomic classification is domain, which is the point of origin for all species; all species belong to one of these domains: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya.</span>Within each of the three domains, we find kingdoms, the second category within taxonomic classification, followed by subsequent categories that include phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.At each classification category, organisms become more similar because they are more closely related.As scientific technology advances, changes to the taxonomic classification of many species must be altered as inaccuracies in classifications are discovered and corrected.

The process of DNA replication occurs just before ______________.
bazaltina [42]
I believe your answer would be "Cell division"
DNA replication occurs just before the process of cell division which is also known as mitosis.

Mitosis is when the cell is being divided into two and this is when DNA starts to replicate and it produces more cells and the process goes on and on and no. 

Hope this helps. c:
