The alpha and better hemoglobin jeans are expressed at different times they’re in the human lifecycle i.e. embryo fetus adult. How might this explain the role of each of these plays in human development and how could this hypothesis be tested?

Step 1
Alpha hemoglobin is typically expressed early in development (in the embryo), while beta hemoglobin is expressed later (in the fetus and adult). This difference in expression timing suggests that each type of hemoglobin is adapted to the specific oxygen needs of Show more…
