Spleen

The spleen is located under the diaphragm and behind the stomach. It can get enlarged during an infection.

Explanation:

The spleen is a large lymph organ. It is highly vascularized and contains a meshwork that sieves out old and misshaped erythrocytes.  It acts as a quality control measure for red blood cells.  The organs has macrophages that engulf and digest the red blood cells that fail quality control and foreign matter. The spleen stores the iron the cell as bilirubin and is recycled yo make new blood cells in the red bone marrow.

The spleen also stores red blood cells hence your spleen helps you recover blood cells (and maintain the right blood pressure) when you lose a considerable amount of blood from a deep cut.

What is created from mitosis in animals?
lapo4ka [179]
A. two identical nuclei
<span>Mitosis, simply put, is the division of the nucleus of a cell. It is the phase in the cycle of a cell in which the two chromosomes in a cell divide and separate in a nucleus of their own. These chromosomes are completely identical. As a result of mitosis, two identical cells are formed and are known as daughter cells. This process copies and transfers DNA into both the cells that are formed as a result of Mitosis.</span>

A gene on a chromosome lies close to another gene controlling a different trait. This indicates that the genes are _. The first
umka2103 [35]

My guess:

I do not know the options to the blanks, but I'd say that the answer to the first one is "strongly linked". Think of a chromosome as a phylogenic chart → 2 species that are beside each other are strongly linked, if compared to 2 species 3 spots apart form each other. So, 2 genes that are close to each other are strongly linked.

I do not know the options to the blanks, but I'd say the answer to the second one is epistasis → which is the interaction between two different genes (different means they're not linked alleles).

Hope it helped,
