Blood transfer is limited by the type and Rh factor of the blood. Someone who has Rh-factor negative blood cannot receive blood with a positive type but a person with Rh-factor positive type blood can receive Rh-negative blood. Type O negative blood is the universal donor because it can be given to a person with any blood type. Type AB positive is the universal recipient meaning someone with this blood type can receive any other type of blood.
Cell division is the process by which cells replicate genetic material in the nucleus. Cell division consists of several phases:
Phase | Major Process |
---|---|
interphase | chromosomes replicate into chromatids and the cell grows |
prophase | chromatids pair up |
metaphase | paired chromatids move to opposite sides of the cell |
anaphase | cell elongates and nucleus begins to separate |
telophase | separation of nucleus is complete resulting in two new nuclei |
cytokinesis | cytoplasm and cell membranes complete their separation resulting in two separate cells |
Cumulus clouds are large, puffy, mid-altitude clouds with a flat base and a rounded top. These clouds grow upward and can develop into a cumulonimbus or thunderstorm cloud.
A molecule is the smallest multi-atom particle of an element or compound that can exist and still retain the characteristics of the element or compound. The molecules of elements consist of two or more similar atoms, the molecules of compounds consist of two or more different atoms.
An element in a solid state has atoms or molecules that are constricted and do not move freely. Solids maintain a constant volume and shape and exist at a lower temperature than liquids or gases.
