This is a case of pulmonary embolism. In a patient treated for a broken leg, immobilization of the affected limb is strongly advised; although immobilization imposes a risk to develop deep vein thrombosis or the development of clot most commonly in the popliteal veins. This clot or thrombus can be dislodged and can travel to the right ventricle then pumped into the pulmonary circulation; causing dyspnea, chest pain, and hemoptysis.

<span>Pulmonary embolism. Bill had a blood clot in his leg that broke loose and traveled to his lung where it is blocking an artery.
</span><span>Pulmonary embolism is a blockage in one of the pulmonary arteries in your lungs. In most cases, pulmonary embolism is caused by blood clots that travel to the lungs from the legs or, rarely, other parts of the body (deep vein thrombosis). </span>

"Bald Eagle Facts
Simora [160]
The important part of the text is the following:

<span> "Their most important non-carrion food is fish, which they catch by swooping down and grabbing fish that are near the surface of the water."

We know here that in order to survive, the Bald Eagle needs access to the water - and this water cannot be frozen. So the less ice cover there is, the more food it can obtain!

Where is DNA found? A. vacuole B. chromosomes C. cell membranes D. Golgi body
dmitriy555 [2]
<span>in eukaryote cells DNA is found in the nucleus of the cell, the form the DNA (e.g. chromosomes vs. chromatin) is in depends on what stage of the cell cycle you are talking about. In cells that have mitochondria, DNA is found there as well. Mitochondrial DNA is distinct from nuclear DNA and doesn't code for the same things. In prokaryotic cells DNA is found in the cytoplasm. Don't forget that other entities may also contain DNA such as viruses.

Although DNA is technically confined to the places outlined above, the reality is cells are dying all the time and spilling their contents including their DNA. As a result DNA is all over us and everything we touch, and the same goes for other organisms.

Bacterial cells DON'T typically have a nucleus. They are called prokaryotic because of that (prokaryotic means "before nucleus" where as eukaryotic means "true nucleus"). Their DNA is typically in the cytoplasm usually as a single circular shaped chromosome. The also sometimes have smaller peices of circular DNA called plasmids that are also in their cytoplasm which they can exchange with each other.. </span>
