Question

QUESTION 1 A mutation in the alpha globin gene that introduced one additional basic amino acid residue in the BPG binding pocket would: Eliminate Hb's positive cooperativity. Decrease Hb's O2 binding affinity. Increase Hb's O2 binding affinity. Increase O2 binding in muscle and decrease it in lungs. Decrease O2 binding in muscle and increase it in lungs. It would have no effect on the adult form of Hb. QUESTION 2
