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.

lorasvet [3.4K]

Surface tension depends mainly upon the forces of attraction between the particles within the given liquid and also upon the gas, solid, or liquid in contact with it. The molecules in a drop of water, for example, attract each other weakly.

Example:

a glass of water is sitting on a table put a paper clip in it. it stays floating on the top.

Water striders can walk on water because of the surface tension of water.

Hello there! 

The most plausible answer here, I believe, would be Polymerase. 
Polymerase is responsible for joining nucleotides to create new strands of DNA, or, replicating. Hope this helps and have a nice day.

Can either a genotype or phenotype be expressed as a percentage?​
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Phenotype

Explanation:

"only four phenotypes result from the six possible ABO genotypes. How does this happen? To understand why this occurs, first note that the A and B alleles code for proteins that exist on the surface of red blood cells; in contrast, the third allele, O, codes for no protein."
