A.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The disorder associated with women who have the problem of blood pressure.

Introduction: Anemia found when bone marrow starts decreasing the production of erythrocytes in the body. This deficiency decreases the factor required for hematopoiesis and folic acid.

Explanation of Solution

The women with low blood cell count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and serum ferritin level, then the women are suffering from iron-deficiency anemia. The iron deficiency anemia is caused by dietary deficiency and loss of iron through bleeding in the body. This deficiency caused when the red blood cells are decreasing in the count.

B.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The additional data to examine the etiology of women's condition.

Introduction: Poikilocytosis is referred to as the abnormal shape of a red blood cell. It founds when the red blood cell dies prematurely and cause the lack of red blood cell in the blood.

B.

Explanation of Solution

A woman with a low level of hemoglobin, hematocrit, and decreased amount of serum ferritin level. This means the women are suffering from Iron-deficiency anemia. This deficiency takes place when the amount of red blood cells starts decreasing. The other data or symptoms are poikilocytosis and anisocytosis that means the shape and size of red blood cells become irregular.

C.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The sign that reflects the body's attempt to compensatefor the disorder.

Introduction: Iron deficiency anemia is usually present in adults in the western world. The deficiency signifies the chronic loss of blood because the iron is not a recycled compound.

C.

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

The individual suffers from the iron-deficiency anemia is related to impaired oxygen transport and lack of hemoglobin. The severity of anemia, an individual, also suffers from pallor, easy fatigability, dyspnea, and tachycardia. Epithelial atrophy is very common in these individuals, which leads to the waxy pallor, brittle hair and nails, and spoon-shaped fingernails.

D.

Summary Introduction

To determine: Thesignificance of low ferritin level and the way it is used for the treatment.

Introduction: Iron is the main component of the heme group;a deficiency of iron leads to the decreased hemoglobin synthesis and impairment of oxygen delivery.

D.

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

The level of serum ferritin takes place when an individual is not consuming proper dietary food. The insufficient or poor consumption of dietary food can cause a deficiency of iron, which leads to iron deficiency anemia. The treatment for iron-deficiency anemia includes iron supplements, healthy meal, an intravenous iron therapy, and iron tablets with vitamin C.

Question #3: In the KeyGene paper, the authors state that it would be useful if pollen from an apomict would transmit apomixis-inducing genes to the female in the cross (assuming the pollen is viable). Assuming there was just one gene conferring gametophytic obligate apomixis, and that the two parents are inbreds, what would be the consequences of such a cross if: a) The apomixis was a dominant trait? Indicate the genotypes and phenotypes (apomict or non- apomict) of the parents, F1 and F2 generations. Remember to include the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios (or percentages) in the F1 and F2 generations, and to position the female first (left side) in the parental cross. b) The apomixis was a recessive trait? Indicate the genotypes and phenotypes (apomict or non- apomict) of the parents, F1 and F2 generations. Remember to include the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios (or percentages) in the F1 and F2 generations, and to position the female first (left side) in the…
Question #5: Assume that two genes are identified that confer gametophytic facultative apomixis in soybean. The genes show independent assortment. Recessive alleles at both loci are required for the facultative apomixis. Facultative apomixis is triggered when the temperature at pollination is above 20 degrees C. At temperatures below 20 degrees C, all reproduction is sexual, independent of genotype. A facultative apomict male, capable of producing viable pollen, was crossed with a sexually reproducing female. Assuming the parents are completely inbred, what are the predicted phenotypic ratios (apomict: non-apomict) for the F1, F2, and DH (F1-derived) generations at each of the following temperatures*: a) 15°C? b) 25°C? *for full credit, show crosses and genotypes where appropriate. Remember to position the female first (left side) in the cross. Type your answer here:
