Normal hemoglobin levels:
   Older men: 12.4 to 14.9 gm/dL
   Older women:11.7 to 13.8 gm/dL

Possible causes for anemia is blood loss from an injury/surgery, not enough production of red blood cells, or it's happening too much destruction of red blood cells. (Whatever the cause is, the patient is losing blood)

To determine why, the doctor should request a blood test with the following information: Complete blood count (CBC) Iron levels and ferritin levels, Vitamin B12 and folate, Reticulocyte count, <span>Bilirubin and maybe some s</span>pecial blood tests to detect if the cause it's from a immune attack.
It's also possible to need a sample of bone marrow but it's rare.

Which of the following if added to this sequence A—G—A—T—G—C—G—A—G—T—T—A—C—G—G might create an insertion mutation? A. a DNA mole
Talja [164]
D. Adding another base pair will re-arrange your DNA sequences and cause an insertion mutation. This will make your codons group of differently, and possibly give you a BAD mutation. However, sometimes the codons still make the same proteins as its supposed to, the mutation will NOT affect you.

Example:

THE BIG FAT CAT ATE THE RAT

Now, if i were to add a letter (X) to this and make the letters group up in three aka the codons:

THE XBI GFA TCA TAT ETH ERA T

As you can you can see, adding a base pair in a DNA insertion will usually have a negative effect, specifically a insertion mutation.

Describe the structure and functions of the portions of eukaryotic dna that do not encode protein or rna.
yawa3891 [41]
<span>A section of DNA that is not expressed in the gene product is called intron. The final messenger RNA molecule is called exon. Eukaryotic cells have the enzyme to cut off the intron section to produce a continuous strand of mRNA so that protein synthesis can occur. Prokaryotic cells can express the information to produce protein directly as the mRNA does not contain intron. </span>
