Sea nomads have several genetic adaptations that positively affect their ability to dive.

<u>Explanation:</u><u> </u>

Bajau people who are deep sea divers found in parts of south east Asia are called sea nomads. They depend on the sea for a living and have been into diving before man generations. Some special genetic and physiological adaptations have helped sea nomads in diving.

Studies reveal that the Bajau people have an increased spleen size which means that they have  a large reservoir for oxygenated RBCs. This variation has occurred as a result of natural selection  on genetic variants in the PDE10A gene in sea nomads.

BDKRB2 is the gene affecting the diving reflex of humans. Studies have found out that there is a strong selection on the BDKRB2 gene in the Bajau people.

Does a carbon monoxide detector go off continuously
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer: CO alarms have a life expectancy of around seven years. The CO alarm will beep every 30 seconds or display ERR or END. If a CO alarm is at its end-of-life, replacing the battery will not stop the beep. Most detectors will beep 4 or 5 times in a row about every 4 seconds. Do not mistake dangerous levels of poisonous gas for a detector with low battery.

Explanation: (credits to the internet) Hope this helped! :D

What is the order of the cell cycle
jeyben [28]

The cell cycle  is a four-stage process in which the cell increases in size (gap 1, or G1, stage), copies its DNA (synthesis, or S, stage), prepares to divide (gap 2, or G2, stage), and divides (mitosis, or M, stage). The stages G1, S, and G2 make up interphase, which accounts for the span between cell divisions.
