Is it possible to switch blood types

Biology

Aneli [31]3 years ago

Answer: It is not possible to switch blood types.

Explanation:

Blood type is hereditary. That is it is being transferred from the parents to the offsprings. Blood type is inherited by the offspring from the parents at the point of fertilization of the egg by the spermatozoa. There are basically four blood types: A, B, AB and O. These blood types or blood groups are named on the basis of the type of antigens they have. There are two types of antigens: antigen A and B. Blood type A has only A antigen, blood type B has only B antigen, blood type AB has both antigen A and B while blood type O has no antigen.

I do not believe so because it is genetic, just you can't forever change a feature without plastic surgery or an accident, etc.

Which of the following does not characterize the lungs of birds?
kompoz [17]

Answer:

C) They are compressed during inhalation.

Explanation:

Birds breathe through rigid lungs that are located in the animal's thoracic region. The trachea of birds divides into bronchi that branch inside the lungs into very thin tubes called parabronchials or parabroncholes, which are irrigated by blood capillaries that allow gas exchange.

In birds there are no pulmonary alveoli (as in mammals), but air capillaries that depart from the parabroncholes. Oxygen gas passes from these capillaries to the blood capillaries, thus causing gas exchange.

In the lower portion of the bird's trachea, before branching the bronchi, we can find the syringe, a bag-like structure that has vocal cords responsible for the birds' scream and song. Most of the time, the sound emitted by birds serves to attract the mate, mark territory and prevent birds of the same species against some predator or other danger.

What kind of evidence would be needed in order to change any part of cell theory?
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

In order to change any part of the cell theory, we will have to prove that the cells are not the basic unit of life. We will have to provide evidence that a cell does not distinguish a living thing from a non-living thing. We will either have to prove the spontaneous generation to be true or have to prove that if not cells, then what are the basic units of life. We will also need evidence to prove that a cell does not arise from a pre-existing cell.

Describe the structure of the kidney and include structure of nephron as well
asambeis [7]

Answer:

Generally, mammals have a pair of bran-shaped kidneys. The mammalian kidney has 2 distinct regions, an outer renal cortex and inner renal medulla. Both regions are packed with microscopic excretory tubules, nephrons, and their associated blood vessels. Each nephron consists of a single long tubule and a ball of capillaries, known as glomerulus. The blind end of the tubule forms a cup-shaped swelling called Bowman’s capsule, that surround the glomerulus. From Bowman’s capsule, the filtrate passes through 3 regions of the nephron which are proximal tubule, the loop of Henle. A hairpin turns with a descending limb and an ascending limb and the distal tubule. The distal tubule empties into a collecting duct, which receives processed filtrate from many nephrons. The many collecting ducts empty into the renal pelvis, which is drained by ureter.

For the structure of nephron, each nephron is supplied with blood by an afferent arteriole, a branch of the renal artery that subdivides into the capillaries of the glomerulus. The capillaries converge as they leave the glomerulus, forming an efferent arteriole. It is surrounded by the Bowman’s capsule. The double-walled epithelial Bowman’s capsule is formed by the invagination of the blind end of the nephron. The glomerulus and Bowman’s capsule form the first region of the nephron and is known as the renal corpuscle or the Malpighian body. The capillary walls are composed of a single layer of endothelial cells with openings between them with a diameter 50-100nm. These cells are pressed up against basement membrane which completely envelops each capillary, separating the blood in the capillary from the lumen of Bowman’s capsule. The inner layer of the Bowman’s capsule is composed of a cell called podocytes which have arms that give off structures resembling tube-feet called foot processes or secondary processes. The secondary processes support the basement membrane and capillaries beneath it and gaps between the processes (slit pores) facilitate the process of filtration. The Malpighian body leads into the remainder of the tubule.
