Answer:

The correct answer should be - no doctors or government can not decide if they can have children together or not, it is their personal decision and one can explain complications and consequences only.

Explanation:

Tay-Sachs disease is autosomal recessive disorder it means for the affecting an individual it requires both copy of the affected allele and in heterozygous condition individual act as a carrier and pass the affected gene to next generation. In this case, both parents are heterozygous which means there are 25% chances to have an affected child.

A genetic counselor or doctor can explain the problems parents can have with the affected child and what are the chances of the affected child, however, they can not and should not decide if they both should have children together or not as it is their personal choice and they should be responsible for pro and cons.

Which of the following statement(s) is/are TRUE about Red Blood Cells (RBCs)? a) A normal RBC has a nucleus RBCs' production is
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

RBCs' production is controlled by erythropoietin.

Mature RBCs are released into the bloodstream after approximately seven days RBCs are produced in the bone marrow

Explanation:

The hormone erythropoietin is produced and released in the bloodstream by peritubular interstitial cells of kidneys. The function of erythropoietin is to increase the number of the precursors of red blood cells and thereby to stimulate the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow. When the oxygen supply to body cells is reduced, the hormone erythropoietin stimulates the development of proerythroblasts into reticulocytes and thereby increases the RBC production.

RBCs are produced by the process of erythropoiesis and take about seven days to become mature and to be released in circulation to serve the function of oxygen delivery. The maturation of RBCs also includes the loss of most of the organelles such as the nucleus and mitochondria to accommodate hemoglobin protein. The life span of circulating RBCs is about 100-120 days.
