In the past few thousand years, many human populations have evolved adaptations to their local environment. For example, human populations in Siberia and the high artic have adaptations that allow them to withstand the low temperatures of the region. These include a prolonged period until the onset of frostbite, and a higher basal metabolism (allowing for more metabolic heat production). Another example is individuals of a particular population in Southeast Asia have adaptations that allow them to dive to 17 m deep and stay underwater for 15 minutes. This ability is the result of unusually large spleens which act as oxygen reserves in these individuals. Each of these adaptations I have described has occurred only within a few thousand years, which is a very short time frame within the context of evolution. The rapid evolution of these traits beneficial for local environments is evidence that human evolution is an ongoing process.

I do not think that any new beneficial adaptation could evolve in the human population. Modern medicine and society has created a situation where there is no longer differential reproductive success between individuals. What historically may have been a beneficial trait, no longer plays a major role in determining the relative fitness of an individual. For this reason, natural selection does not act on new traits within the human population and these traits to not rise in frequency in the population overtime. It is possible that new beneficial traits are introduced into the population by mutation, but these traits certainly won’t reach fixation in the population due to lack of natural selection on these traits. The frequency of these traits will be determined primarily by random changes in the frequency of these traits over time (genetic drift).

Answer:

The video says that Tibetan people from birth have higher oxygen saturation due to evolution.

The video says that people in Siberia and the high arctic have adapted to survive extreme cold.

I think that one evolution that could be beneficial to humans is the ability to have more tougher skin because our skin doesn't have too many layers.

DNA contains all of the genetic information for a cell and is often called the

Hatshy [7]

The best answer is B.

DNA is sometimes referred to as the blue print of the cell's information because it is the store house in which all genetic information necessary for the cell's survival and reproduction is kept.

Without DNA, there cannot be any continuation of life and no new generation of organisms. All living cells and organisms are essentially made up of protein in different forms. Apart from water, proteins are the most abundant molecules in the cell and body where they serves as the major structural component and are essential for growth and maintenance. Information for all these proteins is found in DNA. Without DNA, there can be no protein hence no life.

What is the name of the oxidized form doesn't have h attached of the electron carrier in photosynthesis?

KiRa [710]

In photosynthesis, an electron carrier of the light cycles is the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate or NADP. This is the oxidized form, because the reduced form of this carrier has the extra H (NADPH). This is somehow related to the electron carrier called nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide or NAD (minus the phosphate).
