In humans, the embryonic and the fetal forms of haemoglobin have a higher affinity for oxygen than that of adults this is because non-identical genes produce different versions of globin during development. So the correct option is A.

<h3>What is meant by oxygen affinity? </h3><h3> </h3>

The amount of oxygen delivered to the cells will depend on the haemoglobin's oxygen affinity.  

Oxygen affinity is defined as the relationship between the saturation of haemoglobin oxygen, represented by SaO2 and the oxygen tension, represented by PaO2. This relationship is plotted by a dissociation curve which is S-shaped.  

Thus, in the embryonic the fetal form, haemoglobin has a higher affinity for oxygen.

Therefore the correct option is A.

iogann1982 [59]

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

The bacteria can undergo cell differentiation in response to the environmental conditions.

The oxidative stress, antibiotic exposure, stress conditions are some of the external conditions due to which the bacterial cell can respond in the cell differentiation.

The bacterial species can divide based in the conditions in which they are put. So it is true that under stress conditions the bacterial cell can undergo cell differentiation.

Suppose you have one plant with the genotype TTPpYy, and another plant that is recessive for all three traits. If you were to cr
musickatia [10]

Answer:

16/64 = 1/4

Explanation:

This is a typical trihybrid cross involving three genes T, P and Y. A plant with genotype TTPpYy is crossed with a plant recessive for all traits (ttppyy).

According to Mendel's law of independent assortment, each allele for each gene will get sorted into the following 8 gametes with only 4 different: TPY, TPy, TpY, Tpy, TPY, TPy, TpY and Tpy.

The recessive parent, ttppyy will produce tpy, tpy, tpy, tpy, tpy, tpy, tpy and tpy.

Hence, using a punnet square, 64 offsprings will be produced with only 16 of them heterozygous dominant for the three traits with genotype (TtPpYy). Hence, proportion is 16/64 equivalent to 1/4.
