True about Hb dissociation curve is

A
Acidosis shifts O2 dissociation curve to right
B
↑CO2 shifts the curve to left
C
Hypoxia shifts curve to left
D
2, 3 DPG has no effect on curve
High-Yield Explanation
Hb-O2 dissociation curve shift to left indicates more affinity of Hb to O2, and thus less delivery of O2 to tissues. Shift to left seen in -        Increased pH -        Decreased 2,3 DPG, temperature, PCO2 -        HbF (Fetal) Shift to right seen in -        Decreased pH -        Increased 2,3DPG, temperature, PCO2 -        HbS (Sickle cell)
