An abundance of biodiversity:)
The correct answer is Francis Galton.
He discovered three kinds of a pattern of fingerprints, that is, arches, loops, and whorls. Arches are witnessed in approximate 5 percent of the patterns of fingerprints encountered. Loops take place in approximately 60 to 70 percent of the patterns of fingerprints encountered.
While the whorls are witnessed in about 25 to 35 percent of the pattern of the fingerprints encountered.

In most mammals, hemoglobin consists of 4 distinct subunits. These subunits consist of an aminoacid chain (aminoacids are the building blocks of proteins) and a heme group. 2 of the subunits have a protein chain with a-structure and 2 have a protein chain with beta structure. The heme groups give hemoglobin and thus blood its red color. Each of these groups has a positively charged iron ion in its core. Iron is necessary so that hemoglobin can bind oxygen and transfer it through the blood flow to the tissues. Given the above exposition, the correct answers are: 4, alpha proteins, heme, iron, oxygen.
Bonus: Hemoglobin is an important example of protein structure since it shows that not only aminoacid order (secondary structure) and configuration of protein chains (tertiary structure) are crucial to the function of a protein; how the multiple chains bind to each other is equally critical (quaternary structure).
Answer: Option (C)
Explanation: Wegener's theory of Continental drift was replaced by a modern theory called the 'plate tectonic theory'. This theory was able to prove what wegener could not and so was universally accepted.
The new evidences supporting this theory were-
- The coastlines of east America and west Africa are similar in shape suggesting that they might have existed together once upon a time
- Similar fossils were found at different continents such as the glossopteris fauna
- Similar rock sequences found at different places determined by the correlation method
Hence the correct option that satisfies the above question is option (C)
