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.

How are epimysium, perimysium, and endomysium interrelated? group of answer choices'
My name is Ann [436]

Entire muscles are encased in the epimysium. The perimysium, which is connected to the epimysium, separates groups of muscle fibres into fasciculi. Individual muscle fibres are encircled by a delicate network of connective tissue fibres, blood arteries, lymphatic vessels, and nerves called the endomysium.

The collagen fibres of tendons are made of endomysium, perimysium, and epimysium, and they serve as the tissue link between muscles and bones by indirect attachment. Intermittent perimysial junction plates serve as its connection to the perimysium.

The perimysium, which surrounds bundles of muscle fibres, the endomysium, which surrounds individual muscle fibres, and the epimysium, which surrounds the muscle, are the three scale levels at which connective tissue of the muscle may be identified.
