Answer:

Bleeding

Explanation:

  • In the case of biliary cancer, the progressive worsening of the associated jaundice is due to the obstruction of the bile flow.
  • The obstruction of the bile flow further is responsible for the impairment of the absorption of vitamin K, which is a fat-soluble vitamin.
  • Impairment in the absorption of Vitamin k leads to a decrease in the production of prothrombin as it is required for its synthesis. 
  • Due to a decrease in prothrombin, there is a further increase in the coagulation time and thus the chances of bleeding increases.

What is the difference between muscle cells and nerve cells
4vir4ik [10]

I mean, there's plenty of differences between muscle and nerve cells. For one, they serve different functions. Nerve cells react and send stimuli rapidly through action potentials, functioning in the nervous system and allowing the brain to communicate with the rest of the body, while muscle cells allow muscles to move. Another difference is the structure of the cells, with nerve cells having dendrites, axons, and neurotransmitters to assist in the firing of action potentials. You're going to have to be a little more specific, I can't really help you any more with such a broad question.

How does genetic diversity affect biodiversity in an area provide an example
ra1l [238]

When humans farm large plantation of one cash crop, they reduce the biodiversity of the region because they reduce the genetic diversity of the species in the environment. A reduction in genetic diversity means that the genetic variability of the species is reduced  hence there are fewer sub-species in the environment. This ultimately reduces the biodiversity of the ecosystem -  which is the variability among all the living organisms in the environment.
