Leukopenia means a low count of white blood cells in the body. When there is a low white blood cell count in the body, and in particular a low level of neutrophils (a kind of white blood cell that fights infection), there is quite a significant risk of developing an infection, and once an infection is developed and the white blood cell count is low, the body will not be able to protect itself and fight off the infection. In severe cases , infection may lead to death.

Monosaccharides can be grouped as aldehydes and kefone groups,what is their difference and similarities and list four examples f

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Aldehyde has C=O bonded to atleast one H atom while Ketone has C=O bonded to two carbon atoms

Aldehyde - galactose, glucose, glyceraldehyde, fructose

Ketone - Trioses, Tetroses, Pentoses, Hexoses

Explanation:

Similarity

Both the aldehyde and ketone have C=O group

Difference

In aldehye the C=O group require atleast one hydrogen atom or the functional group in aldehyde is -CHO

while in ketone the function group is C=O only that is bonded to two carbon atoms.

Example

Aldehyde - galactose, glucose, glyceraldehyde, fructose

Ketone - Trioses, Tetroses, Pentoses, Hexoses

A set of identical twins are together in an introductory biology class. The unit of study is DNA and its structure. The teacher

Hunter-Best [27]

In identical twins, alleles are identical and the order of the bases on the interior of the DNA molecule is identical (Options C and E). It is because genetic material is identical.

<h3>What are identical twins?</h3>

Identical twins refer to individuals produced by the same zygote cell, i.e., they are monozygotic twins.

Since these individuals are produced by the same zygote cell, their genetic material (DNA) will be identical.

Identical twins are useful to understand the exact role of genetics and environment in a given phenotypic trait.
