Erythropoiesis (from Greek 'erythro' meaning red and 'poiesis' meaning to make) is the process which produces red blood cells (erythrocytes).
Birds and mammals have the following characteristics in common: they are vertebrates, meaning they have an internal skeletonthey are warm-bloodedthey breathe using lungs, so â¦ have full respiratory systems they have circulatory systems. Most mammals give live birth, but there is a sub-group known as monotremes, which are the egg-laying mammals. 2  This group includes just the platypus and the echidna. 3  They are still mammals because, like all mammals, they feed their young on mothers' milk.
Mammals exhibit many examples of traits that are shared among species that are adapted to life in similar environments and ecological niches. Examples include several species scattered around the world that resemble anteaters.
