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.

The mutations that made snake venom deadlier over time had a positive impact on those snakes. How might those mutations have had
Burka [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Im not 100% sure, but I think that because the snake venom gets stronger, other species that have adapted to the weaker venom have a harder time fighting it. For example, the honey badger can fight of snake venom with its very thick skin and ability to sleep it off. However, if the snake venom got stronger/deadlier, the honey badger would have a much harder time fighting it, and might die.
