YES
A healthy gene does not have mutations that disrupt normal blood clotting factors. A gene that causes hemophilia has mutations that affect the production or function of blood clotting factors, leading to difficulty in blood clotting and increased risk of bleeding.
The independent variable in a study on blood clotting could be a factor that is manipulated or controlled by the researcher, such as the dosage of a medication, the presence of a certain gene mutation, or the concentration of a specific clotting factor.
Prothrombin gene mutation is a genetic condition where there is a specific change in the gene responsible for producing prothrombin, a protein that helps in blood clotting. This mutation can increase the risk of developing blood clots, leading to conditions like deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. It is often detected through blood tests and may require monitoring or treatment to prevent complications.
Platelets help with blood clotting
The chief plasma component to the clotting of blood is the platelet. The additional components include blood clotting factors.
Red blood cells do not initiate clotting. Platelets initiate clotting.
Hemophilia
Plasma is the liquid component of blood. It does not cause the clotting. The part of blood that causes clotting are the platelets.
Platelets are important for blood clotting. Along with these platelets there are various blood clotting factors which helps to clot the blood.
Vitamin K is responsible for blood clotting. Or is it responsible for clotting blood? Whatever way you want to say it, it's vitamin K. :)
Hemophilia is a genetic blood clotting disorder.
we can say that blood clotting is a function of blood because plasma is involved in blood cloting and plasma is a consituent of blood.
