How is a fetus able to extract O2 from its mother's blood?

Biology
2 answers:
Reil [10]3 years ago

Answer:

E.

Explanation:

A fetus is able to extract O2 from its mother's blood because fetal hemoglobin has a higher affinity for O2 than maternal hemoglobin. Thus making it alot easier for the hemoglobin to bind to oxygen. This causes the oxygen-dissociation curve to move towards the left of the maternal oxygen-dissociation curve.

Answer:

E. Fetal hemoglobin has a higher affinity for O2 than maternal hemoglobin.

Explanation:

Hemoglobin is a protein found in the blood which is responsible for binding to oxygen for efficient circulation to other parts of the body.

Fetal hemoglobin is usually at a high level and it’s produced around 6 weeks of conception. The fetal hemoglobin has a higher affinity for Oxygen than that of the maternal hemoglobin and it helps in carrying oxygen from the bloodstream of the mother to cells and tissues of the fetus.

The p wave of a normal electrocardiogram indicates ________.
Olegator [25]
The answer is atrial depolarization. The P wave of a normal electrocardiogram specifies atrial depolarization.  In addition, depolarization happens in the four compartments of the heart which is both atria first and in both ventricles. The sinoatrial or as called as SA node on the wall of the right atrium starts depolarization in the right and left atria that can cause the contraction in which it is symbolized by the P wave on an electrocardiogram.

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

All the puppies have black hair because albino alleles are found in two different genes.  

If we let the letters A and B represent the two different pigmentation genes, the one of the dogs is AAbb, and the other is aaBB.

Their offspring are AaBb and so there are not albinos because they have one dominant copy of each gene.
