Answer:

The correct answer is - the affinity of hemoglobin for O2 has decreased.

Explanation:

The oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve or hemoglobin dissociation curve is the graphical representation of the proportion of hemoglobin in its saturated form on the y-axis against the prevailing oxygen tension P0 on the x-axis.

A shift of the curve to the right side indicates the hemoglobin has a reduced or less oxygen affinity. It occurs in cases where oxygen needs to be released such as the placenta for breathing of the fetus and muscles.

Explain why the chromosomes in the haploid cells that are produced by meiosis I look different than those produced by meiosis II
scoundrel [369]
In meiosis one, homologous chromosomes only separate resulting in two cells. In meiosis II, the cells divide further, separating sister chromatids and resulting in four cells. So the cells are just even smaller with less chromosomes in each one.

What components of the eukaryotic cell were visible in the onion root tip? Which components were not? Why do you think some comp
ruslelena [56]

Looking at the onion root tip under the microscope you can see large, rectangular cells with visible distinct cell walls surrounding it (cells have a more regular shape because of the wall). Inside the cells, you can notice darkly stained nucleus, large vacuoles at the center and sometimes small granules within the cytoplasm. Looking the onion root tip under the microscope is often the way to observe mitosis. Usually, you cannot see organelles such as mitochondria, ribosomes, rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum, centrioles and Golgi body as they appear translucent and because are too small to be seen under the light microscope (electron microscope required). Also, chloroplasts are not present in an onion cell because it is not a photosynthetic cell.
