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.

What effects does crossing<br> over have on a chromosome?
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer: crossing over allows for genetic variation

Explanation:

crossing over is the exchange of genes between two chromosomes which ends up resulting in non-identical chromatids that comprise the genetic material of gametes (sperm and eggs).

Basically crossing over makes the chromatids that are held together by a centromere, no longer identical to eachother which creates genetic variation.

Which of the following functions does active transport perform in a cell ?
viktelen [127]

Answer:

To move substances against a concentration or electrochemical gradient, a cell must use energy. Active transport mechanisms do just this, expending energy (often in the form of ATP) to maintain the right concentrations of ions and molecules in living cells.
