Q. No.Four globin chains [ 2 alpha and 2 gamma] constitute the structure of:
1. hemoglobin A
2. hemoglobin F
3. hemoglobin S
4. methemoglobin
1. hemoglobin A
2. hemoglobin F
3. hemoglobin S
4. methemoglobin
The abnormal hemoglobin seen in patients of sickle cell anemia is HbS. It is different in structure from the normal HbA because:
| 1. | glutamic acid is replaced by valine in the beta chain |
| 2. | the two beta chains are replaced by gamma chains |
| 3. | it has two heme groups instead of four |
| 4. | it consists of only a single globin chain and heme |

The gills in the fishes are the most efficient of all respiratory systems because:
1. the countercurrent flow of water over the gills
2. the blood within the gills
3. increasing the temperature of the blood to the gills
4. the countercurrent flow of water over the gills and the blood within the gills
