The patient went to the clinic with complaints of dizziness, shortness ol breali, palpitations and pain in the limbs, which sharply worsened after a short rest in the mountains. A reduced number of red blood cells were found in the patient's blood, as well as immature crescent-shaped cells and red blood cells. What are the causes of this pathology? Why did the discase worsen in conditions of low partial pressure of oxygen?

Group of answer choices The movement of the proximal histidine upon O2 binding causes a structural change at the binding interface between subunits The oxidation of Fe2+ to Fe3+ and formation of the superoxide ion causes distortion of the protoporphyrin ring, altering binding interface between subunits The tetrameric nature of hemoglobin's quaternary structure directly confers cooperative binding activity The movement of the distal histidine upon O2 binding causes a structural change at the binding interface between subunits The binding of O2 causes a pH shift that changes the protonation state of amino acids located at the interface between subunits The solubility of hemoglobin in aqueous solution and its insolubility in nonpolar environments
