In spherocytosis, there is a defect in the membrane proteins of the red blood cells, specifically ankyrin and spectrin. These membrane proteins contribute to the biconcave shape of red blood cells therefore the loss of these proteins will lead the red blood cells to lose its biconcave shape--leading to abnormally shaped red blood cells (spheres) hence the name. This can lead to premature destruction of red blood cells and jaundice due to hyperbilirubinemia. Spherocytes do not hold oxygen and carbon dioxide well as spherocytes have a decreased surface area.
Competition will increased because more organisms will be competing for resources
The answer is invasive species.
Invasive species are species that are not native to specific ecosystem,
but they have a capability to spread widely through the ecosystem, This way
they can threaten native species of the ecosystem or cause
environmental harm.
<span>After being introduced into the Black Sea, they greatly affect local
ecosystem. In the new area, they have no natural predators and are able to
spread. If they spread beyond the area they are introduced, they
become invasive species which can overgrow native biotopes and are
a great threat to the local biodiversity. This could lead to the extinction
of some native species.</span>
Answer:
RNA is a single-stranded nucleic acid. RNA has a ribose sugar instead of a deoxyribose sugar like DNA. RNA nucleotides have a uracil base instead of thymine. There are many different types of DNA RNA is single stranded RNA forms a double helix.
