Structure of hemoglobin and how does oxygen bind to it

1 answer:

3 0

Hemoglobin is a protein that exists in the red blood cells. Hemoglobin contains iron atoms in its chemical structure which are responsible for binding with oxygen or carbon dioxide. In its final structure, Hemoglobin contains 4 sites that can bind to oxygen. Despite that, it's difficult for a hemoglobin molecule to bind with four oxygen atoms at the same time because the structure will be complicated. Hemoglobin combined with oxygen is called oxyhemoglobin, while that combined to carbon dioxide is called carboxy hemoglobin.

If each parent is brown-eyed with a recessive blue-eyed gene, what is the probability of having a brown-eyed child? A blue-eyed

Alexxx [7]

Brown eyes + blue eyes = 50% chance of blue eyes, but only if the brown-eyed parent carries a blue-eyed gene. If not, the chance is 0% Brown eyes + brown eyes = 25%, but only if both parents carry the blue-eyed gene.

a 25% If both of you have brown eyes, then there is generally a 25% chance that the baby will have blue eyes if both of you carry the recessive blue-eye gene. But if only one of you has a recessive blue-eye gene, and the other has two brown, dominant genes, then there is a less than 1% chance of the baby having blue eyes.

Define and distinguish between a hypothesis and a scientific theory

Annette [7]

A hypothesis is an idea or explanation that you then test through study and experimentation. A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. . Most hypotheses can be supported or refuted by experimentation or continued observation. Theory: A theory is more like a scientific law than a hypothesis. I hope this helps! Please give me stars to tell me how well I'm doing.
