Explanation:

Yes they can. An AB parent can indeed sometimes have an O child. But it is by no means common. In fact it would be fair to say that it is exceedingly rare.

The one exception is in certain Asian groups. Some of these folks have a rare version of the ABO blood type gene called cis-AB. People with this gene version have an AB blood type but can easily have an O child.

It’s not common, but yes it’s possible. Though, you need to get an O allele from both parents to have blood type O, there are a few ways:
-If that parent is cis-AB (that is carrying A and B alleles on the same chromosome) and the other allele is O, the parent will have the alleles (AB) O and may pass the O allele to his/her child.

All of the following factors are responsible for unloading of oxygen from the hemoglobin molecule except
tatuchka [14]

All of the factors are responsible for unloading of oxygen from the hemoglobin molecule except the increase in partial pressure of oxygen.

Because the affinity of haemoglobin for binding oxygen increases as  partial pressure of oxygen rises.

<h3>What is  Haemoglobin?</h3>

Red blood cells include the protein hemoglobin, which transports oxygen to your body's organs and tissues and carbon dioxide from those tissues back to your lungs.

<h3>What are factors that affect Haemoglobin's affinity for oxygen?</h3>
  • When used as an oxygen transporter, hemoglobin can carry about 65 times as much oxygen as simple solution in plasma could.
  • A cooperative oxygen-hemoglobin affinity is produced by conformational changes in the molecule.
  • The oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve's sigmoidal form reflects this characteristic.
  • Temperature, hydrogen ions, carbon dioxide, and intraerythrocytic 2,3-DPG all have an impact on hemoglobin's affinity, and they all interact with one another.

Bond [772]
Air passes through is: Nostrils → nasal cavity →Pharynx → Larynx →Trachea → Bronchi (with cartilaginous rings) →Bronchioles (without rings) → Alveoli (air sacs). Alveoli are the seat of exchange of O2 / CO2 between lungs and blood.

Which type of digestion involves the actual breaking apart and chewing of food?
jeka57 [31]
The type of digestion that involves the actual breaking apart and chewing of food is called MECHANICAL DIGESTION. Mechanical digestion increases the surface areas of the food which makes the food easier to digest. Examples of mechanical digestion are mastication and peristalsis.
