No platelets at all? Zero?

They would have been dead long before you make note of them. I live in Canada. The platelet count has units (normally) of (140 - 450) * 10^9 parts per liter of blood. It's sounds like a lot, but too few has side effects. If you have (say) below 140 and about 100, you have Thrombocytopenia, which, if there is no organic cause, is harmless.

Below that and they worry. Below that and you have a rare form of pre Leukemia.

If it drops below 10, they don't give you any time to worry or do anything.  If you don't have religious beliefs against it, you are booked for a transfusion and they start looking at your marrow. Severe lack of platelets usually isn't your only symptom. Other blood properties are usually involved.

The problem is that leukemia robs you of all energy as well as not being able to have your blood clot. Blood clotting is a very important properly of blood. If your blood doesn't clot, when blood is exposed in places it should not be, it flows freely without interruption. You can bleed to death.

Below 10  and you really are in trouble. Death can't be far away and it won't be pleasant.

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.

Fires are important to savanna ecosystems, but not to grassland ecosystems. Please select the best answer from the choices provi
garri49 [273]

The given statement is false.  

The fires are essential to both the grassland and savanna ecosystems. The grasslands and savannas are featured by two seasons, which are sustained by fire, and exhibit species that are impervious to drought. These fires help in following on the sequences and permit for habitats to maintain their resolution.  

The African savanna ecosystem refers to a tropical grassland with warm temperatures over a year, and with its highest seasonal rainfall in the summers.
