(a)
To explain: The p50 of hemoglobin Yakima is higher or lower.
Concept introduction: Hemoglobin is the protein that has an iron ion bound to it and carries oxygen from the lungs to rest of the parts of the body. The partial pressure of oxygen that is required to attain half saturation or 50% saturation of the oxygen-binding sites in the hemoglobin is known as p50. Several hemoglobin variants have been discovered. One such variant is the hemoglobin Yakima.
(b)
To explain: The p50 of hemoglobin Kansas is higher or lower.
