Answer:

B. It was passed to the individual by a gamete from the father.

Explanation:

DNA is transferred to the next generation via gametes, which are produced during meiosis. During meiosis, half of the genetic material is transferred from parent cell to their gametes. Therefore, among the given options, only B is correct.

Option A is not correct because it talks about somatic cells; whereas, in somatic cells, genetic material is not transferred half rather duplicate first and then a complete duplicated set of genetic material is transferred.

Option C is also not correct because only one gamete (sperm) fertilizes the egg. Hence, not half of his cells descend from father gamete. Similarly, option D is also incorrect because it is not possible to descend half of the nuclei from the father to the offspring.

Answer:

hemoglobin will bind more oxygen when the partial pressure is low than when the partial pressure is high.

Explanation:

Binding of hemoglobin to oxygen is regulated by several factors. However, the partial pressure of oxygen is the most important factor that determines how much oxygen will bind to hemoglobin. When the partial pressure of O2 is high, hemoglobin binds with large amounts of O2. On the other hand, when the partial pressure of O2 is low, hemoglobin is only partially saturated.

Therefore, the greater the partial pressure of oxygen, the more O2 will bind to hemoglobin until saturation is reached. This is why a lot of O2 binds to hemoglobin in pulmonary capillaries where the partial pressure of oxygen is high.
