The most important factor that determines the percent of oxygen saturation of hemoglobin is

Biology
1 answer:

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 is the new peptide chain when the new dna segment is translated for 3'- TACAGGGTGCTACCCACT-5'
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Methionine- Serine- Histidine- Aspartate- Glycine- stop

Explanation:

Translation, which occurs in the ribosomes, is the second stage of protein synthesis where mRNA transcript is used to synthesize a peptide chain that eventually forms a protein. The mRNA sequence is read in a group of three nucleotide called CODON. Each codon specifies a particular amino acid, which is read and added to the growing peptide chain.

In this question, a DNA sequence reds 3'- TACAGGGTGCTACCCACT-5, the

mRNA sequence from this DNA during transcription will be:

AUG UCC CAC GAU GGG UGA

From this mRNA sequence, the peptide chain that will result following translation is:

Methionine- Serine- Histidine- Aspartate- Glycine- stop

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

<u>Answer</u>: A heritable trait can be changed from one generation to another.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • The concept of <em>descent with modification</em> was given by Darwin which simply states that the traits are passed on from the parents to the offsprings.
  • The traits that can be passed on are known as <em>heritable traits</em>.
  • These traits are passed on with the help of the genes.
  • So this passing on of traits explains the term <em>descent</em> in this concept. However, there are always chances that these heritable traits can be changed due to environmental factors or due to the process of recombination and thus the term <em>modification</em>.
  • So <em>descent with modification</em> means that a<em> heritable trait is passed from parents to offspring but it can be changed from one generation to another.</em>

Which of the following may be caused by molds?
vichka [17]

<span>The answer is an allergy. The allergy could cause the eyes to be watery and to itch, sneezing and coughing, and a runny nose. This is as a result of the mold fungi releasing numerous spores in the air that enter the airways. Allergy is an immune response to the foreign bodies (spores) that have entered your body. </span>
