Haemoglobin Sequence Polypeptide Structure Vary Species Bases Gene

Front Why does haemoglobin vary by species?
Back - different sequence of bases in gene that codes for haemoglobin polypeptide sub-units
- different primary structure and amino acid sequence of polypeptides
- different H, ionic and disulfide bond positions on polypeptide chain
- different specific tertiary structures
- different quarternary structure and shape
- different oxygen binding properties
