Q1:

Which hemoglobin chain replaces the beta chain in embryonic hemoglobulin?

A Delta

B Epsilon

C Gamma

D Alfa

ANS:B - Epsilon

Right option would be B because embryonic (<8 weeks) hemoglobin contains epsilon and zeta and it also called Grower I type of hemoglobin.

But fetal (3-9 months) hemoglobin contains of alpha and gamma (it's a HbF type of hemoglobin).
