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.

How can scientists use vertebrate embryo development to build evidence for the claim that vertebrates are somewhat closely relat
Yuri [45]

Answer:

All early vertebrate embryos develop tails and gill slits, and therefore this type of anatomical evidence supports common ancestry  

Explanation:

Embryology is a discipline that studies the structural/anatomical features and development of embryos. Embryos are a fundamental piece of evidence to support common ancestry among vertebrates because there are homologous structural features that can only be observed during the first stages of vertebrate development. For example, all vertebrate embryos (e.g., fish, chicken and human embryos), develop tails and gill slits during their first stages of embryo development. In consequence, embryology provides evidence for evolution of vertebrates.

34kurt

Explanation:

Well, one could use a magnet to see if it's ferrous. One could melt it to check which type it is, use a metal detector, or just use their senses: If it dings or clinks like metal, and feels like it’s texture. If it polishes with metal polish, is reflective, can be shaped or shape when heated… It usually is a metal. If it rusts, or oxidizes, it is or contains metal. If it “smells" like metal, most likely, it is metal. Finally, if it walks like metal, and quacks like metal, most likely we have a metal
