The haemoglobin of a human foetus

Easy

A

has a lower affinity for oxygen than that of the adult and the oxygen dissociation curve is towards right.
B

has affinity for oxygen the same as that of an adult.
C

has a higher affinity for oxygen than that of the adult and the oxygen dissociation curve is towards right.
D

has a higher affinity for oxygen than that of an adult and the oxygen dissociation curve is towards left.

Solution

Fetal hemoglobin (HbF) exhibits a low affinity for 2,3-BPG, resulting in a higher binding affinity for oxygen. It leads to shifting of entire oxygen-binding curve to the right side.
