: suppose an individual carried a dominant inherited mutation that prevented the normal successful development of myeloid stem cells. which type of blood cells would most likely be absent from this individual?

Sagot :

If a mutation prevents the successful development of myeloid cells then erythrocytes, monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, and platelets will be absent in a person.

Hematopoiesis is a process in which all mature blood cells are formed. In vertebrates (including humans) this process usually takes place in the bone marrow. All blood cells are developed from hematopoietic stem cells. These cells give rise to two different cell lines myeloid and lymphoid.

Myeloid cell lines give rise to erythrocytes, monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, and platelets. Hence the absence of myeloid cells prevents the development of the cells mentioned above. Lymphoid cell lines give rise to T-cells, B-cell, and natural killer cells.
