f these factors and the effect it has on blood flow?
A. The narrowing of blood vessels increases pressure and leads to faster blood flow

B. High blood viscosity increases the resistance in the blood vessels and leads to faster blood flow.

C. Low blood pH decreases the rate of diffusion through the blood vessels and leads to slower blood flow.

D. The changing of the shape of red blood cells to a crescent shape decreases resistance and leads to faster blood flow.

Answer:

B

viscosity of blood causes an increased resistance in the blood vessels and

leads to slow blood flow

Viscosity refers to the thickness of blood. This thickness is caused by the number of red

blood cells. Thick blood travels through blood vessels at a slower rate than thin blood

What is the difference between independent and dependent variables
trasher [3.6K]

The two main variables in an experiment are the independent and dependent variable.

An independent variable is the variable that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment to test the effects on the dependent variable.

A dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in a scientific experiment.

The dependent variable is 'dependent' on the independent variable. As the experimenter changes the independent variable, the effect on the dependent variable is observed and recorded.

For example, a scientist wants to see if the brightness of light has any effect on a moth being attracted to the light. The brightness of the light is controlled by the scientist. This would be the independent variable. How the moth reacts to the different light levels (distance to light source) would be the dependent variable.

When results are plotted in graphs, the convention is to use the independent variable as the x-axis and the dependent variable as the y-axis.

I already did the rest, I just need an explanation on Phillip being the father or not.
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
Phillip is the father as the baby has a heterozygous blood type B which is IBI in order for this to have happened the IB part would have came from the baby’s mom and the I or blood type O part would have came from the baby’s dad. However because blood type O is recessive blood type B is dominant and is show.
