Explanation:the haemoglobin of lamprey is different from that of humans as it consists of characteriatics partly of vertebrates and partly of invertebrates.

It has a molecular weight equal to that of muscle haemoglobin but it is found to be very efficient in oxygen transport.

The haemoglobin in the oxygenated form is monomeric and undergoes association with diamers and Tetramers when they undergo disassociation.
