Answer:

Leukopenia decreases the body ability to fight infection

Explanation:

There are three major types of cells in the blood namely: platelets, red blood cells (erythrocytes) and white blood cells (leucocytes). These cells perform individual functions in the blood tissue, however, the cell saddled with the responsibility of fighting against foreign bodies and preventing the body against infection is the WHITE BLOOD CELL (LEUCOCYTES).

According to this question, Leukopenia is a condition characterized by a decrease in the number of white blood cells in the blood. The effect of this decrease in number of white blood cells caused by Leukopenia is a DECREASE IN THE BODY ABILITY TO FIGHT INFECTION.

You will develop a brief portfolio detailing the history of tsunamis in a modern society that could be used to teach others.
Maru [420]

The 2004 Sumatra Earthquake and Indian Ocean Tsunami gave us a vivid description of menace of major tsunamis. It also suggested that tsunami science and engineering were inevitable to save human society, industries, and natural environment.

An answer can be found in Japan. Japan is the country the most frequently hit by tsunamis in the world. The experiences are well documented and are continued as the local legends. In 1896, the tsunami science started when the Meiji Great Sanriku Tsunami claimed 22,000 lives. An idea of comprehensive countermeasures was officially introduced after the 1933 Showa Great Sanriku Tsunami. The major works taken after this tsunami, however, were the relocation of dwelling houses to high ground and tsunami forecasting that started in 1941. The 1960 Chilean Tsunami opened the way to the tsunami engineering by elaborating coastal structures for tsunami defense. The 1983 Japan Sea Earthquake Tsunami that occurred during a fine daytime cleared the veil of actual tsunamis. The 1993 Hokkaido Nansei-Oki Earthquake Tsunami led to the practical comprehensive tsunami disaster prevention used at present, in which three components, defense structures, tsunami-resistant town development and evacuation based on warning are combined.

The present paper briefs the history of tsunami research in Japan that supports countermeasures.

Describe how the fossil record could be used by scientists to help explain the evolution of a species. Justify your response in
Virty [35]

Answer:

You could use the fossil record to help explain the evolution of a species by watching how it aged, what it ate, how it breed and where it lived along with a million of other things. It could have lived in the 20 below freezing and then you find that same fossil in the warmest place in the world it shows that the species either adapted or possibly had an offspring that could handle the high temperatures.
