purpose of this lab is to describe possible genotypes of corn and plants in procedure 17.2, and find their color and height ratio; in procedure 17.3 codominance will be observed in human blood, and the blood types of unknown samples will be determined. In procedure 17.4, Rh positive and Rh negative will be tested for in blood samples. A unit of heredity on a chromosome is called a gene. Mendel’s particulate theory states that offspring have characteristics inherited from their parents by genes…

Question 1: What is hematocrit? What does Mrs. Jones’ value indicate? Hematocrit is a blood test that provides information to the physician about the patient’s health that they are looking after about the amount of red blood cell in their blood. However, the measurement of hematocrit is determined by the size of the red blood cell and stated as the complete blood count in which the hemoglobin values are counted as well (Charles Patrick Davis, 2016). “The standard values of hematocrit for adult…

carbon dioxide, and circulating the blood until the new heart is inserted. The patient is then injected with anticoagulants that help prevent blood from clotting in the heart-lung machine. The surgeon attaches two tubes to the right side of the infant’s heart that will collect unoxygenated blood, and two other tubes to the aorta that return oxygenated blood. The heart-lung machine’s main function is to regulate the body temperature of the patient by keeping the blood warm or cool. The machine…
