Answer:

Her minimum height must be 5'5" and her minimum weight must be 150 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

The double red program is a program where red blood cells are donated by people . This red blood cells are used for treatment of patients that require red blood cells such as transplant of organs, transplant of tissues, treatment of cancer e.t.c.

Apheresis is a process whereby blood is collected or removed from the body and it undergoes the process of filtration into various components of the blood.

The machine that is used during apheresis collects the human blood and separates it into white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets.
