The McDonald Kreitman tests of genes in the human and chimpanzee genomes showed many with an excess of nonsynonymous variation w

ithin species. Dr. Noor suggested this means that many mutations are sticking around but not getting fixed. In class, Dr. Noor suggested this was probably the result of the inability of our species to eliminate some detrimental mutations. Why is this elimination difficult

Answer:

A mutation may be bad and good depending on the particular environmental conditions

Explanation:

For example, the falciform anemia is a hereditary disease caused by a mutation where the ability to transport oxygen of red blood cells is reduced; however, this genetic disorder is widespread in some African populations because it is a condition that confers resistance to falciparum malaria. In consequence, falciform anemia is a detrimental mutation that may also be beneficial in endemic malaria regions.

Moreover, it is important to note that the higher proportion of non-synonymous substitutions are not subject to selection (only a minor percentage are positively selected) because they are generally localized within non-coding regions, thereby having neutral status.

Squirrels live mostly in climates where temperatures drop during the winter season and food becomes very scarce. How do squirrel
NemiM [27]
Just as they store food underground for use during the winter, squirrels store fat on their bodies in preparation for the cold. When food is scarce, a good layer of fat offers the energy a squirrel might need to survive. It also helps them stay warm when the temperature drops.

Hope this helps !

Explanation: When two plate move towards each other they converge or come together. The collision between two plates that are moving towards each other is called a convergent boundary. When an ocean plate meets a continental plate at close to a straight line ( 180 degrees) the result is a subduction zone.
