the term used to describe how well an organism functions in its environment is variation
Mitosis results in two cells that are duplicates of the original cell. This kind of cell division occurs throughout the body, except in the reproductive organs. This is how most of the cells that make up the body are made and replaced.<span>Meiosis results in cells with half the number of chromosomes, 23 instead of the normal 46. These are the eggs and sperm. </span>
Answer:Lipids perform three primary biological functions within the body: they serve as structural components of cell membranes, function as energy storehouses, and function as important signaling molecules. The three main types of lipids are triacylglycerols (also called triglycerides), phospholipids, and sterols.
triglycerides- fat
phospholipids- plant and animal cell membrane
sterols- plant and animal cell membrane's microorganism.
Explanation:
Answer:
Most people experience increased infant mortalities at high altitudes due to the inability of the mother to provide sufficient oxygen to the developing fetus but now variation in the DNA sequence in the people that lives at higher altitudes like in Tibetans allow normal level of infant survival at high altitudes.
This variation occurred in the EPAS1 gene in the Tibetan population that is responsible for delivering oxygen more efficiently to the fetus. This nucleotide variation is also present in low landers of Beijing but natural selection selected the variant gene in Tibetan people because they require this mutated gene for their survival.
So the population passed this variant gene in next-generation, therefore, inheritance allowed the spreading of the mutated gene to the next generation therefore by natural selection and inheritance a mutated gene spread through a human population that had just begun living high in the mountains.
