High altitude adaptation is a complex physiological process that involves an increase in both the number of Hb molecules per erythrocyte and the total number of erythrocytes. It normally requires several weeks to complete. However, even after one day at high altitude, there is a significant degree of adaptation. This effect results from a rapid increase in the erythrocyte BPG concentration.
a. Try to do this without looking at the graphs. If oxygen-binding curves for both high altitude adapted hemoglobin and normal, unadapted Hb were plotted together, would the curve for high altitude adapted Hb be to the left of, to the right of or the same as the curve for unadapted Hb? Explain.
b. Is the oxygen binding affinity of high-altitude adapted Hb higher, lower, or the same as that of unadapted Hb? Explain.

6. in domesticated cats, the following are independently assorting: normal ears (t) is dominant to tufted ears (t); curved whiskers (c) is dominant to straight whiskers (c); the presence of six toes (s) is dominant to five toes (s); gene for hair length is an x-linked codominant. the three phenotypes for hair length are long (xhxh), medium (xhxh), and short (xhxh); medium is the heterozygous condition. given two parents: ttccssxhxh x ttccssxhy how many different gametes could be formed in the female cat with respect to these four traits? how many phenotypes are possible in the offspring from this mating?
