A reticulocyte count indicates that 5% of Tyler's red blood cells were reticulocytes. His blood test also indicated he had polyc

ythemia and a hematocrit of 65%. Explain the connection between these three facts.

Explanation:

What is reticulocyte count?

Reticulocytes are immature red blood cells (blood cells that are not yet fully developed). The reticulocyte count measures the amount of reticulocytes in the blood. This helps doctors know how many red blood cells the bone marrow is producing.

Why is the reticulocyte count done?

If a child has a reduced amount of red blood cells, which is called anemia, a reticulocyte count may be done. The reticulocyte count helps doctors know if the bone marrow is functioning properly in the production of red blood cells.

Which disappears more rapidly from a population, a deleterious dominant allele or a deleterious recessive allele?
Allisa [31]

Answer:

Selection is a directional process that leads to an increase or a decrease in the frequency of genes or genotypes. Selection is the process that increases the frequencies of plant resistance alleles in natural ecosystems through coevolution, and it is the process that increases the frequencies of virulence alleles in agricultural ecosystems during boom and bust cycles.

Selection occurs in response to a specific environmental factor. It is a central topic of population and evolutionary biology. The consequence of natural selection on the genetic structure and evolution of organisms is complicated. Natural selection can decrease the genetic variation in populations of organisms by selecting for or against a specific gene or gene combination (leading to directional selection). It can increase the genetic variation in populations by selecting for or against several genes or gene combinations (leading to disruptive selection or balancing selection). Natural selection might lead to speciation through the accumulation of adaptive genetic differences among reproductively isolated populations. Selection can also prevent speciation by homogenizing the population genetic structure across all locations.

Selection in plant pathology is mainly considered in the framework of gene-for-gene coevolution. Plant pathologists often think in terms of Van der Plank and his concept of "stabilizing selection" that would operate against pathogen strains with unnecessary virulence. As we will see shortly, Van der Plank used the wrong term, as he was actually referring to directional selection against unneeded virulence alleles.
