Biology
1 answer:
givi [52]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: The spellings are wrong. It should be globulin and heme.

Globulin alone is not effective as oxygen carrier because globulin does not have oxygen binding groupband cannot bind oxygen.

Heme alone is not effective as oxygen carrier because the iron present in heme can be oxidized easily and it cannot bind to oxygen.

Explanation:

Globulin are proteins that are present in the blood of humans. It is an oxygen carrier.

Heme is iron containining compound that form the non protein part of haemoglobin and other biological molecules. Heme are responsible for carrying oxygen in the blood.

Lena [83]

<u><em>Female:</em></u>

*Ovaries - release of oocytes (eggs), estrogen and progesterone.

*Oviducts (fallopian tubes) - where fertilization of the oocyte occurs to form a zygote.

*Uterus - where the zygote develops

*Cervix and vagina - allow for the entry of sperm for fertilization

<u><em>Male:</em></u>

*Testes - Releases testosterone and sperm

*Vas deferens - Passageway for sperm

*Epididymis - allows the sperm to pass from the testes and vas deferens and equips them with semen so they can survive internal fertilization

*Penis - releases sperm into the external environment for fertilization to occur

Kruka [31]

Researchers selected candidate genes by identifying homozygous tracts shared by all three siblings along with the parental phenotype, this type of study is applied for the inheritance of recessive genes. Since the recessive genes can not be expressed in heterozygous genotype, the back tracking of carriers and homozygous recessive individual will help understand its inheritance pattern. The inheritance of dyt2 can be autosomal recessive. It is usually passed on to progeny of two carriers.
