1.	By what mechanism does the body compensate for low oxygen availability in altitude sickness?(a) Increasing the binding affinity of hemoglobin(b) Decreasing breathing rate(c) Decreasing the binding affinity of hemoglobin(d) Increasing red blood cell formationThis question was posed to me during a job interview.My question is based upon Organisms and Populations in chapter Organisms and Populations of Biology – Class 12
