Red blood cells
What would happen if red blood cell is large?
Irregularly shaped blood cells can cause problems with clotting and proper blood flow. Think of the sickle cell disease. Although you're asking about irregularly sized and not irregularly shaped blood cells, I would assume that similar problems would occur. If the blood cells were too large to allow proper and free movement I should think that clotting and the risks/pains associated with abnormal blood clotting could occur. It really depends on how large we're talking.
What do thrombocyctes do?
Thrombocytes, also known as platelets, play a crucial role in blood clotting and hemostasis. They help to form clots by sticking together at the site of a blood vessel injury and facilitating the formation of a plug to stop bleeding. Additionally, they release chemicals that promote clotting and healing processes in the body.
How can nondisjuncton result in an individual having an extra chromosome what is this called?
Nondisjunction is a type of chromosomal abnormality where chromosomes fail to separate properly during cell division, leading to cells with an extra chromosome (trisomy) or missing a chromosome (monosomy). When an individual has an extra chromosome, it is called trisomy, such as trisomy 21 in the case of Down syndrome.
