 Bone marrow produces red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The white blood cells (also called leukocytes) that our bone marrow produces are used to fight off diseases, and the platelets rush to a wound to form a layer over it, similar to a plate, to clot the blood and prevent bleeding. If your bone marrow dies or fails, your red blood cell count will dramatically decrease. A low blood cell count is called cytopenia. Someone who has a genetic bone marrow disease may be helped by a bone marrow transplant from a matching relative or donor. Before a transplant you get chemotherapy with or without radiation to kill off diseased red blood cells. During a bone marrow transplant you get injected with new, healthy red blood cells that make their way to your bone marrow to further grow and develop.

Air temperature: When temperatures (and the humidity) soar, the heart pumps a little more blood, so your pulse rate may increase, but usually no more than five to 10 beats a minute.<span>Body position: Resting, sitting or standing, your pulse is usually the same. Sometimes as you stand for the first 15 to 20 seconds, your pulse may go up a little bit, but after a couple of minutes it should settle down. Emotions: If you’re stressed, anxious or “extraordinarily happy or sad” your emotions can raise your pulse. </span><span>Body size: Body size usually doesn’t change pulse. If you’re very obese, you might see a higher resting pulse than normal, but usually not more than 100. </span><span>Medication use: Meds that block your adrenaline (beta blockers) tend to slow your pulse, while too much thyroid medication or too high of a dosage will raise it.

What led to scientists accepting Mendel's ideas?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

A. Scientists discovered chromosomes and DNA.

Explanation:

Mendel's ideas were based on patterns of inheritance in plants. Although he identified these patterns, at the time, we did not know what the hereditary material was. This means Mendel couldn't uncover the mechanism of why he was seeing the patterns he was.

When scientists discovered chromosomes and DNA, they were able to see how Mendel's observations made sense in the context of DNA and chromosomes.
