Answer:

bicarbonate-carbaminohemoglobin-dissolved in plasma

Explanation:

Transport of CO2 in the blood occurs in three main forms. Most of the CO2 is carried in the blood as bicarbonate. It accounts for transport of about 70% CO2. In RBCs, CO2 reacts with water in the presence of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase to form carbonic acid, which dissociates into H+ and HCO3-. Bicarbonate formation also occurs in blood plasma.

About 23% of CO2 is carried in the form of carbamino-compounds. Binding of CO2 to hemoglobin forms carbaminohemoglobin. The smallest percentage of CO2 (about 7%) is dissolved in blood plasma and is diffused into the alveolar air as it reaches the lungs.

The piece of evidence that Charles Darwin was missing when he developed the theory of natural selection was that ____
mr Goodwill [35]

       The right answer to this question is option C. the traits acted upon natural selection were genes.

       At the time Charles Darwin developed the evolution theory, there wasn't a single study about genes in all science scenery, that could be explained by the lack of technology to study them and even to know they existed in the first place.

        So, his theory was basically talking about adaptation, if an organism can't survive a specific environment, he'll probably die until another generation comes in and this one can survive in this environment, passing their genes to the next ones. The lack of information was the knowledge about the genes we have today, that's why most scientists take only the new Darwin theory, that includes the study of genes.
