Is there a Genetic Basis for Adapting to Life at High Altitudes? A team of scientists from the United States and China set out t

o answer these questions. They began their search for a genetic basis for high-altitude hardiness by looking for genes that differed between the Tibetan people and closely related, but low-dwelling, neighbors. They collected DNA sequence data from 50 Tibetans and 40 nearby Chinese low-dwellers. For comparison, the scientists also collected DNA sequence data from 200 low-dwelling Danes, a more distantly related population.

Answer:

Looking at tibetan highlanders who thrive at high altitudes- normally that would make us sick- they have adapted, 60% oxygen- could pose huge health issue (live with 10% less oxygen in blood than us)

Explanation:

Evolutionary adaptations- involve a change in the genetic makeup to help individuals survive in environment. Tibetans have adaptations to let them function at high altitudes

How are cubs raised within a pride
Molodets [167]
All the lactating females in a pride suckle cubs showing no favoritism for their own offspring. The reason for this is that each lioness is enhancing her own genes' success by helping to raise her sisters' offspring. Mothers give birth to up to 6 cubs at a time but litters of 2 or 3 are more common.
Hope this helped.

Which of the following is a characteristic of RNA splicing in Eukaryotes? View Available Hint(s) Which of the following is a cha
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

<h2>Exon/intron boundaries are typically characterized by a 5' GU splice junction and a 3' AG splice junction.</h2>

Explanation:

RNA splicing: is the process of removal of introns (non coding sequences) from RNA transcript  and the exons are joined together. This process occurs in the nucleus with the help of various enzymes,  splisosome ( spliceosome removes introns from  pre-mRNA).

RNA splicing occurs by recognizing Exon/intron boundaries, typically characterized by a 5' GU splice junction and a 3' AG splice junction. And then removing introns from these sequences.

Occur?<br> 2. What is the purpose of translation? Where does it happen in the cell?
Allisa [31]

Answer:

The entire process is called gene expression. In translation, messenger RNA (mRNA) is decoded in a ribosome, outside the nucleus, to produce a specific amino acid chain, or polypeptide. The polypeptide later folds into an active protein and performs its functions in the cell.

Explanation:

Hope it helps!
