A scientist is evaluating the hemoglobin in mountain goats compared to the hemoglobin in normal barnyard goats. How will the hemoglobin in these two goat species compare?
A) As these are both goat species, mountain goats and barnyard goats will have the same type of hemoglobin (with the same binding affinity for oxygen) .
B) Given that barnyard goats tend to live at lower altitudes, these goats will have hemoglobin with a greater oxygen-binding affinity compared to the hemoglobin of mountain goats.
C) Given that mountain goats tend to live at higher altitudes, these goats will have hemoglobin with a greater oxygen-binding affinity compared to the hemoglobin of barnyard goats.
D) Given that mountain goats tend to live at higher altitudes, hemoglobin in these goats will have more heme groups than the hemoglobin of barnyard goats.
E) Given that barnyard goats tend to live at lower altitudes, hemoglobin in these goats will have more heme groups than the hemoglobin of mountain goats.
