The correct answer is: c. An operon is a region of DNA that codes for a series of functionally related genes under the control of the same promoter.

Operons contain cluster of genes that are transcribed together into mRNA or are not expressed at all. Formed mRNA undergos splicing to create monocistronic mRNAs so that can be translated separately. Operons are more often found in prokaryotic cells but it can appear in eukaryotic cells and in viruses.

Describe how cooperativity of oxygen binding in hemoglobin is advantageous for the transport of oxygen from the lungs to the tis
Nostrana [21]
The affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen is less than its structural analog myoglobin. However, this does not affect hemoglobin's usefulness for the body; on the contrary, it allows hemoglobin to be a  more efficient carrier than myoglobin. This is because hemoglobin can release oxygen more easily than can myoglobin. It is both important for oxygen to be carried to different areas and also to be released when needed. The higher affinity of a given protein for oxygen, the harder it will be for that protein to release oxygen when needed. Therefore, hemoglobin's lower affinity for oxygen serves it well because it allows hemoglobin to release oxygen more easily in the body.
