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.

What type of bonds form between the nitrogenous bases? Why are these bonds important?
Bond [772]

Answer:

The bonds that are formed between nitrogenous bases are Hydrogen Bond.

Explanation:

When a hydrogen atom interract with an electronegative atom such oxygen,fluorine hydrogen bond forms,

              A single hydrogen bond is weak noncovalent bond but collectively they exerts  very strong interraction.

            Hydrogen bonding occurs between complementary base pair .For exam An adenine base forms 2 hydrogen bonds with thymine base whereas guanine forms 3 hydrogen bonds with cytosine base.

             The hydrogen bonding between complementary is very much important to stabilize the structure of DNA .
