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.

Older adults are more susceptible to cardiac and nervous disorders along with poor musculoskeletal strength.  

To maintain good cardiac and nervous health; musculoskeletal fitness and strength; reduce depression, cognitive decline; older adults are directed to engage in moderate-intensity/vigorous or combination of both aerobic physical activities and muscle-strengthening exercises.

They should include physical activities combining one or more of; occupational (work-based) activities; transportation (walking, cycling); household chores (cleaning); leisure time activities (gardening, dancing); sports activities (hiking, biking, swimming, games, running) and planned daily routine exercise activities; all of them as part of their daily routines performed as an individual, family or community-based activities .

When comparing a cell just before the first meiotic division with another cell of the same organism that is ready to start mitos
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

III. Equal number of chromosomes.

Explanation:

Comparison between two cells, one cell just before first meiotic division and other cell ready to start mitosis is that both the cells have equal number of chromosomes.

Both the cells have an equal number of chromosomes that is 2n (diploid),  where n is 23 and total chromosomes are 46 in each cell but at the meiosis at the end meiosis produces four haploid (n) daughter cells and mitosis produces two diploid (2n) cells.

Hence, the correct answer is "III. Equal number of chromosomes.".
