Jenny, a healthy young woman, had a battery of tests during a physical for a new job. Her RBC count was at the higher end of the

normal range at that time, but four weeks later it was substantially elevated beyond that. When asked if any circumstances had changed in her life, she admitted to taking up smoking. How might her new habit explain her higher RBC count?

Answer:

Smoke-induced oxidative stress limited the oxygen-carrying capacity of the previous red blood cells

Explanation:

The red blood cell (RBC) contains hemoglobin which helps in the transport of oxygen. However, the Jane's smoking must have induced oxidative stress to the cells of her body including RBC, thus compromising it's oxygen-carrying capacity.

Hence Jane's body increased RBC count in order to maintain oxygen supply to all cells of her body.

True or False earthquake always occurs where there is a build up of friction along a fault?
Andre45 [30]
<span>True. Earthquakes are felt whenever there is a slip around a fault in the rocks below the earth. This reorientation of faults create sesmic waves and is known as earthquake, the severity of which is measured in richter scale. These are more prominent in hilly regions as the rocks usually form faults to balance the pressures on it.</span>

In ducks, the trait for normal feathers is dominant to the trait for silky feathers. If
vesna_86 [32]

Answer: The genotype ratio is 2Ff : 2ff

The phenotype ratio is two normal feathered birds to two silky feathered birds.

Explanation: Let F represent the gene for normal feather and f represent the gene for silky feather. F is dominant while f is recessive, therefore a male that is hybrid for trait of normal feather is heterozygous and will have a genotype of Ff, a female that is homozygous for silky feather will have a genotype of ff.

A cross between Ff and ff will yield 2Ff birds and 2ff birds. Since F is dominant, a bird having genotype of Ff will manifest outwardly as blue feathered birds while ff will manifest outwardly as silky feathered birds because f is recessive and must occur in a homozygous condition in order to manifest phenotypically. Therefore, the genotype ratio is 2Ff: 2ff.
