Q16 Fishy proteinsCod fish have two alleles for a protein that binds oxygen, called the Hb-1 and Hb-2 alleles. Fishexpressing the Hb-1 allele are found in different environments than fish expressing the Hb-2 allele.Upon bringing both groups of fish into a lab, scientists found that the Hb-1 and Hb-2 proteinsfunction differently when tested under two different temperature treatments, cold and warmtemperature. The groups of fish were similar in size, age, and sex ratios. The figure below showsthe findings from the scientist's research.highOxygen bindingperformanceΣΧΟpelowlowO TrueHb-1coldO FalseHb-2coldTemperature (°C)warmTemperature (°C)Figure 1. The oxygen-binding performance of a protein depends on which allele codes forthe protein (Hb-1 or Hb-2). The x-axis indicates the temperatures at which the protein was tested.The y-axis indicates the amount of oxygen bound to either the Hb-1 or Hb-2 protein.warmUse this information and your understanding of biology to answer questions 16-20.16. In cold water, natural selection would favor heterozygotes that expressed Hb-1 and Hb-2 at the same time.
