Answer:

The haemoglobin levels or counts can be used.

Explanation:

The oxygen carrying pigment of the blood is the heamoglobin (Hb).it is a protein molecule with for heam groups,Each of the latter can bind with  4 molecules of oxygen in a cooperate bonding.The more oxygen molecules binding by Hb,the more oxygen is carry in RBC.

Therefore if the number of Hb counts is reduced in an individual the volume of oxygen in the RBC of the subject should  reduced,Therefore, this should be a good indicator of the lower oxygen capacity of the blood of the individual.

Basically in a physiological female the Hb count/100ml of blood is 12-16g/ml,like wise 13-18g/100mI in a physiological  man.

Therefore fluctuations in the levels of these values below the set points  is an indicator of distortion in the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood.

The  amount of the blood in volume that contains RBC is called Hematocrit. Therefore for accuracy the HCT together with the Hb counts are good indicators of oxygen capacity of the blood.

DNA<br>"Deoxyribonucleic<br>Acid"​
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

Details about DNA are given in the explanation section. Hope it will be helpful for you.

Explanation:

DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary element in humans and almost all other organisms. Nearly every cell in a person’s body has the same type of DNA. Most DNA is found in the cell nucleus (nuclear DNA), but a small quantity of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA).

The information in DNA is stored as a code made up of four chemical bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). Human DNA consists of about 3 billion bases, and more than 99 percent of those bases are the same type in all people.

DNA bases pair up with each other, A with T and C with G, to form units that are called base pairs. Each base is also attached to a sugar molecule and a phosphate molecule.  A base, sugar, and phosphate are called a nucleotide. Nucleotides are arranged in two long strands that form a spiral called a double helix.

A valuable feature of DNA is that it can replicate, or make copies of itself. Each strand of DNA in the double helix can serve as a pattern for duplicating the sequence of bases.
