Answer:

The correct answer would be oxygen and carbon dioxide.

The main function of Red Blood Cells (RBCs) or erythrocytes is to transport oxygen from the lungs to all cells of the body. In addition, it transports carbon dioxide from cells to the lungs from where it is exhaled out.

RBCs contain iron containing biomolecule termed as hemoglobin. It can bind to oxygen as well as carbon dioxide in a reversible manner. It depends upon the partial pressure of the gases in a cell.

For example, at the alveolar site, the partial pressure of oxygen is high which increases the efficiency of hemoglobin towards oxygen. Oxygen then binds with hemoglobin in a reversible manner to form oxyhemoglobin.

At the cellular site, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide is higher as compared to that of oxygen. Consequently, oxygen is released and hemoglobin binds with carbon dioxide to form carbamino-hemoglobin.

10. The evolution of Darwin's finches is an example of a. equilibrium. c. stabilizing selection. b. speciation. d. artificial se
lesantik [10]

Answer:

B) speciation.

Explanation:

The Galapagos island is known for the different varieties of finches (species of birds) which could be distinguished on the basis of different beak shapes and size.

This is the result of the selection pressure which led to the divergence of the species on the island through a mechanism called adaptive radiation.

Since the adaptive radiation leads to the formation of different species on the same island, the process of formation species is known as the speciation.

Thus, speciation is the correct answer.
