Answer:

This question lacks options, options are:

a) The partial pressure of oxygen

b) Acidity

c) The partial pressure of carbon dioxide

d) Temperature

e) BPG

The correct answer is a. The most important factor that determines the percent of oxygen saturation of hemoglobin is <u>The partial pressure of oxygen </u>.

Explanation:

Hemoglobin is an oxygen transport protein. Partial Oxygen Pressure (PaO2), measures the pressure of dissolved oxygen in the blood, that is, it shows how well oxygen passes from the lungs into the bloodstream. A high partial pressure of oxygen in the blood produces an almost complete saturation of hemoglobin, which indicates the maximum amount of oxygen that combines, but when PaO2 is reduced, so is hemoglobin saturation, when saturation is below 90% hypoxemia occurs, that is, the level below normal blood oxygen levels.

What might be the result if you shuffle the order of bases in an organism's DNA<br> molecules?
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

It would have disastrous consequences on the viability of the individual

Explanation:

The genome can be defined as the genetic material of an organism, which is composed of DNA molecules named chromosomes whose building blocks are four different nucleotides: Adenine, Thymine, Cysotcine and Guanine. The order of these nucleotides specifies the information contained in the chromosomes and, ultimately, in the genome. The genes, which are recognized to be the basic units of inheritance, are genetic sequences composed of ordered nucleotides along the chromosomes. During transcription, a gene encodes different RNA codons (for example, start and stop codons) which are specified by the order of the nucleotide sequence. Finally, the order of the RNA codons will be critical to specify the polypeptide chain during the translation from RNA to protein.

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

No. They will need to repeat their experiment several times, since the weather and times were different both days.

Explanation:

When a scientific experiment is conducted, one independent variable shall be changed in each experiment at a time so that the results of the experiment are authentic and we can easily determine which independent variable caused a change in the dependent variable.

If more than one independent variable is changed in the same experiment, then it will be difficult to interpret that which variable caused the change.

<u><em>Similarly, Maria and her brother need to repeat their experiment several times with just changing one variable at a time. </em></u>
