Answer:
RBCs' production is controlled by erythropoietin.
Mature RBCs are released into the bloodstream after approximately seven days RBCs are produced in the bone marrow
Explanation:
The hormone erythropoietin is produced and released in the bloodstream by peritubular interstitial cells of kidneys. The function of erythropoietin is to increase the number of the precursors of red blood cells and thereby to stimulate the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow. When the oxygen supply to body cells is reduced, the hormone erythropoietin stimulates the development of proerythroblasts into reticulocytes and thereby increases the RBC production.
RBCs are produced by the process of erythropoiesis and take about seven days to become mature and to be released in circulation to serve the function of oxygen delivery. The maturation of RBCs also includes the loss of most of the organelles such as the nucleus and mitochondria to accommodate hemoglobin protein. The life span of circulating RBCs is about 100-120 days.
1. DNA unzips in the nucleus.
RNA polymerase binds to the DNA sequence, separates the two strands and creates a single-stranded DNA molecule that will be transcripted.
2. Transcription occurs.
Transcription is the first step of gene expression. During this process, a gene's DNA sequence is copied and a mRNA molecule is produced.
3. mRNA moves to the ribosome
The mRNA is then transferred from the nucleus to the ribosome, the organelle that serves as a site for protein synthesis.
4. Translation occurs
Translation is the process where a mRNA sequence into the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide (protein).
5. Protein assembled at ribosome.
Translation, meaning the formation of a protein, occurs on the ribosome.
Answer: a. Genetic recombination (crossing over)
b. Can also be explained in terms of crossing over
c. Non disjunction of homologous chromosomes in meiosis 1
Explanation:
The process that allows for the transfer of both the paternal and maternal materials to is the crossing over process that takes at meiosis 1 changing them to secondary spermatocytes. While they are still primary spermatocytes, they are still diploid cells having both the maternal and paternal chromosomes. But since the spermatozoon is an haploid cell, it is able to retail some of both parents chromosome by the crossing over event which takes place between homologous paternal and maternal chromosomes allowing them to exchange materials. Thus the chromosomal contents of the primary spermatocyte differs from that of the spermatozoon.
C. This can occur as a result of the one of the homologous chromosome pair refusing to separate at meiosis 1 with one gamete containing 4 chromosomes/8 sister chromatids and the second having 2 chromosomes/4 sister chromatids.
