The value of n, the Hill coefficient, for hemoglobin is about 2 to 3 times as great as the value for myoglobin.
Hill Equation
The two closely related equations that help to explain the binding of macromolecules to ligands are called the Hill equation. It helps to quantify the interaction between various ligand binding sites.
Hill coefficient
It is used to describe the cooperativity of ligand binding. It can be positive and negative depending on the value of the Hill coefficient. If the value of the Hill coefficient is more than one then it exhibits positively cooperative binding and if it is less than one then it exhibits negatively cooperative binding. Then there is the noncooperative binding where the Hill coefficient value is one. As for the hemoglobin and myoglobin, the values are,
- Hill coefficient of hemoglobin is 2.7 - 3.
- Hill coefficient of myoglobin is 1.0.
Thus hemoglobin is positively cooperative and myoglobin exhibits noncooperative binding.

Answer:
The best description of the function of meiosis is that <em>it conserves chromosome number, produces haploid cells.</em>
The mother may feel guilty about her child's condition because she may think that the child had that disease genetically from one or both of his or her parents. The mother may exhibit signs of self-blaming because she feels like it is her fault that her child is suffering from the disease. The healthcare practitioner should approach the mother in a biopsychosocial approach wherein the mother is allowed to vent out (catharsis), then the healthcare practitioner should make things clearer (educate), and then have the appropriate action given.
<span>The elements that are found in a high proportion in Earth's crust are oxygen, aluminium, iron, calcium, potassium, sodium, and magnesium. But for your Option, I think it is B) Oxygen and Silicon. This is because Oxygen makes 46.6% while Silicon makes 27.7% of the Earth crust.</span>
