It is unclear why this question is so long. Really, the important part is: 'why would a bone marrow transplant help someone whose red blood cells had a genetic defect?'. The answer is that bone marrow is responsible for generating red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Bone marrow is the tissue found inside your bones. This tissue contains stem cells which develop into the different blood components mentioned above. Replacing the bone marrow would overcome the problem of a genetic defect of the blood.

dexar [7]

Answer:

C. The pond experienced an algae bloom.

Explanation:

From the graph we see that the fish population continue to decrease with time. As time passed on, the fish population keeps suffering a decline. In retrospect, the population of the algae continued to increase.

  • We can ascribe this to the pond experiencing an algae bloom.
  • It could be due to condition called eutrophication.
  • When nutrients become very much in water and more algae is produced.
  • This leads to dissolve oxygen amount reducing in the water body.
  • Therefore, fishes will die off.

What is the likely long-term consequence of an increase in the relative percent of greenhouse gases in Earth’s atmosphere?
kvv77 [185]

Correct answer: A). Earth’s average temperature will increase.

Green house gases are those gases, which are present in the air that have the ability to trap heat of the earth's surface. Gases like carbon dioxide and methane are  known to be found naturally play an important role in earth's climate. If they are not found the earth' s climate would be too cold creating problem for survival of life on the earth.

They absorb and emit the radiation in the thermal infrared range. These gases act like a blanket and save earth surface from infrared radiation by absorbing them and prevent them from escaping out of the earth surface.

But due to increased in the concentration of green house gases like carbon dioxide and methane in the environment due to pollution and deforestation is causing a great problem, which result in a global warming, which is a great concern for all the people on the planet. It will increase the annual global temperature which will result in the melting of glaciers. So, the issue of global warming should be taken seriously and adequate measure should be taken to control it.
