Answer:

Air embolism

Explanation:

  • When bubbles of air or any other gas cause a blockage of blood vessels in the circulatory system then this is known as air embolism.
  • There are several symptoms that are associated with this condition such as loss of consciousness, difficulty in breathing, bloody sputum, tremors, convulsions, etc.
  • Since in the given condition, the diver is having frothy blood in his mouth and since he ascended rapidly calling for help he is most likely to be suffering from an air embolism.

How does the control of gene expression lead to differentiation of cell function in multicellular eukaryotes?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
Every cell of the organism has the same DNA sequence and same genes. However, not all genes are expressed in every single cell at the same time. Only those genes necessary for a specialised function of a specialised cell are expressed in the specialised cell. For example, skin cells have some different proteins than nerve cells. Genes responsible for those "skin proteins" are activated in skin cells and are turned off in nerve cells.
