1. Explain the change in erythrocyte count in the case of anemia

Biology

1. Erythrocytes is red blood cells, and anemia means a lack of red blood cells in the blood. So erythrocyte count in a patient diagnosed with anemia such as pernicious anemia is going to be significantly lower than normal.

2. RBC’s (red blood cells) are produced in the bone marrow
3. Platelets help with clotting as well as clotting proteins produced in the liver
4. The human circulatory system is designed specifically to transport oxygen as well as nutrients to all parts of the body through blood vessels. Humans in the womb have blood vessels and a beating heart developed by the 1-2 months in the womb, and the heart immediately begins work. The human circulatory system is efficient because we were created with a system to be as efficient as possible. The circulatory system is basically a highway made of tunnels that allows RBC’s and WBC’s to pass through to every part of the body including major organs. Unfortunately unhealthy eating habits and poor exercise cause this circulatory system to become less and less effective till the point of heart attack, stroke, or major cardiovascular disease.
5. Blood plasma is very important in the transfer of nutrients as well as hormones to the major organs of the body.
6. Lymph is a clear watery substance that carries proteins and other substances throughout the body in order to maintain fluid balance. Lymph is part of the lymphatic system which is a tiny constituent of the immune system.

Why are architects and engineers concerned about surface waves
Ainat [17]

Answer:

Because they are the most destruction waves

Explanation:

Surface waves travel just below the earth’s surface.  Examples of surface waves are Rayleighs and Long waves. Rayleighs cause ripples on the ground while long waves move the ground horizontally perpendicular to the direction of travel of the wave. Therefore, these waves are capable of destroying the foundations of structures and hence causing their collapse. Studying these waves allow these professionals to design foundations strong enough to withstand these waves.

g a true breeding pea plant with round and green seeds was crossed to a true-breeding pea plant with wrinkled and yellow seeds.
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

The probability of producing a round and green plant from this cross is 3/16

Explanation:

This question involves two distinct genes coding for seed shape and seed colour. In the seed shape gene, allele for round seeds (R) is dominant over allele for wrinked seeds (r), while in the seed colour gene, allele for yellow seed (Y) is dominant over allele for green seeds (y).

A truebreeding plant means that the plant possesses homozygous genotype. Hence, a truebreeding pea plant with round and green seeds will have genotype: RRyy while true-breeding pea plant with wrinkled and yellow seeds will have genotype: rrYY. These two parents will produce F1 offsprings with genotype: RrYy (heterozygous).

When the F1 offsprings are self-crossed (RrYy × RrYy), the following allelic combinations of gametes will be produced by each F1 parent: RY, Ry, rY, ry

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), 16 possible F2 offsprings with a phenotypic ratio 9:3:3:1 will be produced

9- Round yellow offsprings (R_Y_)

3- Round green offsprings (R_yy)

3- Wrinkled yellow offsprings (rrY_)

1- Wrinkled green offsprings (rryy)

Which of the following situations best represents a homeostatic mechanism? A) A person who becomes very nervous begins to sweat
Arada [10]

Answer: option D - After eating a large batch of salty popcorn, levels of salt in the urine increase

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the ability of a living organism to ADJUST its internal environment to maintain a stable equilibrium

FOR EXAMPLE: warm-blooded animals like humans allow blood vessels dilate during hot weather, and constrict during cold weather IN ORDER to maintain a constant body temperature.

Thus, after eating a large batch of salty popcorn, levels of salt in the urine increase due to the homeostatic mechanism of the ANTI-DIURETIC HORMONE stimulating reabsorbtion of water from urine, and excretion of excess salt.
