In spherocytosis, there is a defect in the membrane proteins of the red blood cells, specifically ankyrin and spectrin. These membrane proteins contribute to the biconcave shape of red blood cells therefore the loss of these proteins will lead the red blood cells to lose its biconcave shape--leading to abnormally shaped red blood cells (spheres) hence the name. This can lead to premature destruction of red blood cells and jaundice due to hyperbilirubinemia. Spherocytes do not hold oxygen and carbon dioxide well as spherocytes have a decreased surface area.

A purple flower with an unknown genotype is crossed with a white flower. Determine the genotype of the purple flower if purple (
Furkat [3]
If purple is dominant, the genotype of the purple flower could be PP or Pp, as both would give a purple colour. However, if the crossed flower turned out to be white, we could say with certainty that the genotype of the purple flower is Pp as the genotype of the white crossed flower would be pp, which would not be possible if the purple flower's genotype was PP.

inna [77]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B. "Fill a clear cube with them".

Explanation:

Sugar crystals, colloquially known as "rock candy", are conglomerates of sugar molecules that are formed when sugar-saturated water are cooled. Sugar crystals are arranged in a three dimensional repeating pattern, forming a cube like structure. Therefore, Juan could fill a clear cube with its plastic foam balls to represent sugar crystals. I attached an image of sugar crystals dissolving in water as reference.
