Answer:

Her minimum height must be 5'5" and her minimum weight must be 150 lb

Explanation:

The double red program is a program where red blood cells are donated by people . This red blood cells are used for treatment of patients that require red blood cells such as transplant of organs, transplant of tissues, treatment of cancer e.t.c.

Apheresis is a process whereby blood is collected or removed from the body and it undergoes the process of filtration into various components of the blood.

The machine that is used during apheresis collects the human blood and separates it into white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets.

A cat gives birth to kittens that do not resemble either parent, while a plant grown from a sapling is similar to its parent pla
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

The correct answer would be D) Kittens receive features from both parents but the plant offspring receives features from a single parent.

Cat only reproduces sexually in which male and female parent contribute equal genetic material to the offspring. It leads to the genetic variation in the offspring.

In addition, crossing over takes place during gametogenesis also adds to the genetic variation of the offspring produced by sexual reproduction.

This is the reason that kitten (offspring produced by sexual reproduction) has some genetic variations as compared to the parent and it does not resemble either of the parents.

In contrast, saplings can be done vegetatively through cutting due to saplings receive genetic material from a single parent.

The delicate connective tissue that surrounds the skeletal muscle fibers and ties adjacent muscle fibers together is the
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Endomysium

Explanation:

Endomysium is a thin layer of loose connective tissue which surrounds an individual myocyte or muscle fiber. Collagen is one of the most abundant protein found in this layer. Endomysium also connects the near by muscle fibers to each other. These fibers are then able to exchange various ions necessary for muscle contraction.

Above the level of endomysium, there is perimysium which forms the covering of a bundle of muscle fibers. Even above this level is epimysium which covers the whole muscle.

Punnett square are used to show possible combinations of alleles or to predict the probability of a trait occurring in offspring
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The correct answer would be Pp.

The genotype of one parent is PP. Thus, it will produce only one type of allele, that is, P.

Similarly, the genotype of another parent is pp. Thus, it will produce only one type of gamete, that is, p.

The cross would produce offspring with only one type of genotype, that is, heterozygous Pp.

The phenotype of all the offspring will be purple as it is a dominant trait.

Feliz [49]

Answer:

-During citric acid cycle or Krebs cycle, radioactive carbon will be first appear in citric acid

Explanation:

During cellular respiration, glucose is first converted into pyruvate molecules by the process of glycolysis. These pyruvate molecules go for oxidative decarboxylation, during which acetyl co-enzyme A (acetyl CoA) is formed along with removal of carbon dioxide.

The acetyl co-enzyme enters to the next step in cellular respiration or citric acid cycle or Krebs cycle. The first step of citric acid cycle is formation of citric acid by joining of acetyl CoA and oxaloacetate.

As citric acid is first molecule formed during citric acid cycle, radioactive carbon would be first appear in citric acid.
