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.

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.

The process of ____________ increases genetic variability as it produces gametes for sexual reproduction.
otez555 [7]
The phrase to fit into the blank is "sexual reproduction"!
In sexual reproduction each of the parents produces a gamete and contributes to half of the  offspring's genes. This means that the offspring is a unique composition of the two parents.

In contrast, in a asexual reproduction, the offspring would likely have the same genetic code as the parent.
