In humans, the placenta is essential to the embryo for RESPIRATION, NUTRITION AND EXCRETION.
The placenta refers to an organ in the uterus of pregnant mammals that is responsible for nourishing and maintaining the unborn baby through the umbilical cord. Th placenta has many functions but primarily it plays critical roles in the nutrition, respiration and excretion of the fetus. Its other functions include: production of hormones, production of immunity for the fetus for prevention from infections, etc. <span />

In a plant, red flower color is incompletely dominant over yellow. What will the distribution of flowers in the F2 hybrids be if
Simora [160]
A Punnett square would help here. 

Let's say (R) is dominant red and (r) is recessive red, aka yellow. 

You start with F1 hybrid flowers that are all (Rr) - these are all <em>orange</em>. So when they reproduce, both parents are (Rr). When you create a Punnett square, you'll see that the results for the F2 generation are (RR), (rr), and (Rr) twice. 

(RR) is red, (rr) is yellow, and (Rr) is orange, just like the F1 generation.

Spherocytosis is a human blood disorder associated with a defective cytoskeletal protein in the red blood cells (rbcs). what do
Alex17521 [72]
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.
