What is the difference between embolus and thrombus

Biology
1 answer:
ryzh [129]4 years ago

An embolus is anything which travels through the blood vessels until it reaches a vessel that is too small to let it pass through, and this causes the blood flow to stop.    Basically, a thrombus is the blood clot itself, and the embolus is a fraction of the blood clot which travels through the blood vessels.

Scientists are able to reproduce certain plants and animals by cloning them in laboratories. The diagram shows the steps of clon
rewona [7]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Yes, cloning is a form of asexual reproduction because there is no fusion of sperm and eggs takes place. the animal which is formed from this process is identical of that organism because it is produced from the tissue of that single animal. in 1996, first mammal is produced from cloning was sheep named dolly at the Roslin Institute in Scotland. In cloning, the egg is taken from female organism and remove the nucleus from the egg then the desired organism cell is taken and fuse with the nucleus with the help of electricity. Then implant this embryo in the body of first organism from where egg is taken and after that the embryo turns into a baby, this process is called cloning.

What type of epithelium is the "respiratory epithelium"? (Hint: this is NOT the same thing as the "respiratory membrane". The re
Leona [35]

Answer:

The respiratory epithelium is a type of ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium.

Explanation:

The epithelium (a type of tissue) lines the blood vessels and inner-outer surfaces of organs. Their function includes protection, secretion, absorption, transport, etc. Based on the shape, they are classified as squamous, columnar, and cuboidal. Also, they can be simple epithelium (a single layer of cells) or stratified (layers of two or more cells).

Respiratory epithelium (airway epithelium) is a type of ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium. It is the epithelium that is found in the respiratory mucosa and lines most of the respiratory tract. It protects and moist the airways. It prevents infection by the self-cleaning mechanism of the airways (mucociliary clearance) and thus acts as a barrier to pathogens and foreign particles. It also secretes mucus and prevents tissue injury. The respiratory epithelium contains four types of cells-ciliated, goblet, club and airway basal cells. The arrangement of these multiple cell types as a single layer results in the non- alignment of their nuclei in the same plane. So the epithelium appears as layered or stratified. Hence the name pseudostratified or falsely layered.

In a population of pea plants, green peas are the result of a homozygous recessive condition. If the frequency of the allele for
kompoz [17]

Answer:

32%

Explanation:

Since the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the allele and genotype frequencies will remain constant over generations.

The frequency of the recessive allele (q)= 0.20

Since p+q= 1

so, p= 1-q

and p=1-0.20= 0.80

The frequency of heterozygous genotype (2pq) = 2 x 0.20 x 0.80 = 0.32 or 32%

Therefore, the expected frequency of heterozygous genotype in the next generation would be 32%.

guajiro [1.7K]

The lack of access to the healthy food has caused the growth of Sebastian to slow down. In the case healthy food is provided to him, he can grow into the size he was genetically suited to. This process is known as the canalization. Canalization term is used as the measure of the ability of any given genotype to result in the same phenotype in-spite of the environmental variability.
