Answer:B

Explanation:

This reaction demonstrated Bohr effect. it takes place in the cytoplasm of RBC , because this is the location of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase which catalyzed it .

The hydrogen ion and bicarbonate are transferred out of the RBC into plasma. Chloride ion diffused into the RBC to neutralize drop in pH(chloride shift).

The hydrogen ion is mobbed by haemoglobin in its buffer effect, while the carbonate is transferred to the lungs where it is broken down, to release C02 .85% of blood C02 is transported in this form .

The CO2 released out of the lungs , created a concentration gradient for influx of Oxygen into the lungs. This is the significance of this reaction.

In addition, Option D which involved direct reaction of C02 with Haemoglobin to form carbaminoheamoglobin is another reaction which takes place in the RBC. it is a reversible reaction where the C02 is transported to the lungs.10% C02 is tranported in this form,

1c) If the amino acid sequences in the proteins of 2 organisms are similar, why will their DNA also be similar?

Trava [24]

Answer and Explanation:

Because the DNA sequence determines a protein's amino acid sequence, a gene shared by two closely related organisms should have similar, or even identical, amino acid sequences. That's because closely related species most likely diverged from one another fairly recently in the evolutionary span. Thus, they haven't had as much time to accumulate random mutations in their genetic codes.

Tanya [424]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since Mark's wife was a carrier, it means that she is heterozygous for the trait. And after Mark got tested, they decided to have children due to no increased risk if they do have children, it means the condition is not an autosomal dominant condition but a recessive condition because if the condition is dominant, only one copy of the affected allele is needed to increase risk.

Thus, with a no increased risk, it means Mark is normal i.e. carries no copy of the recessive allele.
