The alpha- and beta-hemoglobin genes are expressed at different times during the human life cycle (i.e., embryo, fetus, adult). How might this explain the role that each of these plays in human development? 2. How could this hypothesis be tested?

Step 1
The alpha- and beta-hemoglobin genes are expressed at different times during the human life cycle. This means that they play different roles in human development. During embryonic development, the alpha-hemoglobin gene is expressed first, followed by the Show more…

What is the evidence that gene duplication has been the source of the $\alpha$ and $\beta$ gene families for human hemoglobin?
The hemoglobin of a human fetus differs from adult hemoglobin. Compare the dissociation curves of the two hemoglobins in the graph at right. Describe how they differ, and propose a hypothesis to explain the benefit of this difference.
