Answer: Because it is harder to draw breath in. And the cold

Explanation: At higher altitudes, it becomes more dangerous, and you can develop altitude-related illnesses such as HAPE and HACE. I read a book called<em> Into Thin Air</em>, and in the book the author goes into detail on the details/complications of climbing Mt.Everest and oxygen needs. Mountain climbers use canisters of oxygen called <u>Supplemental Oxygen.</u>

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

sedimentary rocks

Explanation:

can be dated using radioactive carbon, but because carbon decays relatively quickly, this only works for rocks younger than about 50 thousand years. So in order to date most older fossils, scientists look for layers of igneous rock or volcanic ash above and below the fossil.

In a diploid individual, one chromosome carries A and B genes, and the homologous chromosome carries different forms (alleles) o
Helen [10]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

This involves a dihybrid inheritance I.e. two genes are being passed on. During meiosis, specifically, the Prophase stage, homologous chromosomes (similar but non-identical chromosomes received from each parent) line side by side. According to the question, one chromosome contains A and B alleles and its homologue, received by the other parent carries a and b alleles. This means that the diploid individual has a genotype AaBb for that gene.

According to Mendel's law of independent assortment, the alleles separate independently of one another into gametes. I.e. allele A and a separates into the gametes without affecting alleles B and b of the other gene.

Crossing-over, which is the exchange of chromosomal segment occurs between the two homologues. Hence, the exchange of chromosomal segments containing alleles in the individual will possibly produce four gametes with the genotypes: AB, Ab, aB, ab.
