Severe anemia may trigger an adaptive conversion of yellow bone marrow to red bone marrow.

Anaemia is defined as the decrease or the reduction of the oxygen carrying content of the blood which are the red blood cells.

These red blood cells and other blood cells which include the white blood cells and the platelets are produced in the body by the bone marrows by a process called haemopoiesis.

The bone marrow is divided into two:

  • yellow bone marrow and
  • red bone marrow.

The red bone marrow is made up of stem cells which can be converted to red cells when the need arises while yellow bone marrow is made up of fat.

During health conditions such as anaemia, there is increase in the need of red blood cells by the body.

There is usually the conversation of yellow bone marrow to red bone marrow to compensate for the increased demand of red blood cells.

This conversation is called an adaptive conversation.

Therefore,Severe anemia may trigger an adaptive conversion of yellow bone marrow to red bone marrow.

dusya [7]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Options

A. most populations were fixed for a single genotype, but genotypes varied among populations

B. average heterozygosity was declining steadily over time

C. individual populations were polymorphic for several loci and most populations were genetically similar to one another

D. all populations were fixed for the same allele at each locus studied

Solution

As per the study conducted by Templeton, it was found that human affect the biodiversity at all biological levels such as genetic, ecosystem, species etc. and behind genetic variation two important factors are genetic drift and gene flow.  

Both the gene flow and genetic drift produce opposite results as genetic drift increase variation with in the species but decrease variation with in the local population and the opposite of this happens in gene flow.  

Genetic drift has actually lead to speciation of collared lizards  among themselves for a specific genotype

Hence, option A is correct
