In humans, the embryonic and fetal forms of hemoglobin have a higher affinity for oxygen than that of adults. Why is this the ca

se? a. Nonidentical genes produce different versions of globins during development. b. Pseudogenes interfere with gene expression in adults. c. The attachment of methyl groups to cytosine following birth changes the type of hemoglobin produced. d. Histone proteins change shape during embryonic development.

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 are two major forces that shape and reshape earth? describe how each force works too please?
dexar [7]
<span>The two major forces that shape/reshape the earth are internal forces, i.e.volcanoes and earthquakes and external forces, i.e. weather and the ocean, both of which cause erosion. Volcanoes can add landmass but also can destroy land or cause a winter-like state caused by ash in the atmosphere which can block out the sun and possible killing vast amounts of plant and animal life. Earthquakes can change the land by process of subduction where one plate (land surface or ocean bottom) is forced under another. Erosion wears down geologic formations by the actions of wind and water. Over time water can carve valleys or canyons. Ocean water can erode coastlines by the constant beating of waves on the shore. Wind can carry away particles of land and deposit them elsewhere. Wind and weather combined can be a powerful force for reshaping the earth.</span>

2. What do you notice about the cellular respiration and<br> photosynthesis equations?
ryzh [129]

Answer:

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are connected through an important relationship. ... Notice that the equation for cellular respiration is the direct opposite of photosynthesis: Cellular Respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O. Photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6+ 6O

Consider this animal cell. Which organelles are labeled G? centrioles
kvasek [131]

Answer:

The given cell represents an animal cell, in which the organelle labelled as 'G' is mitochondrion. Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles and their inner membrane is folded inward to form finger-like structures or cristae.

The mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cells as they are site for biochemical reactions of respiration and energy production.

Thus, the correct answer is 'mitochondrion.'
