Answer:

discovery in 2008 where researchers found the ACTN3 gene known as the super sprinter gene that controls fast twitch muscle fibers in sprinters. this gene is apparent in a lot of sprinters, and we know it is a mutation because about 18% of people today actually have 2 defective ones, thus not having the ACTN3 gene at all.

There's this other famous one where this gene low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5, or LRP5 causes extra bone density. usually when LRP5 is inhibited or impaired, this causes osteoporosis, but when it is mutated a different way, it can cause increased bone density. a bunch of generations of a family had never broken a bone in their life because of this. cool stuff.

There's also this trait originating from Africa that people with the sickle cell anemia, no matter if it is active or not, have some resistance towards malaria, good mutataion.

<span>Periderm is a term used to refer as the multilayered system of tissues, which is usually made of cork or phellem. When plant's girth is increased due to its secondary growth, they replace epidermal tissues with periderm. Periderm constitutes phellem or cork cells whose walls are thick with a waxy substance called the suberin which protects the surface of the cells and waterproofs  them. This secondary covering are formed on small woody plants from the phellogen, a meristematic cell layer which is responsible for the periderm's development.

HELP PLEASE!!!!!!

Answer:

They probably use aerobic respiration.

Explanation:

A travel distance of 11.500 kilometers in 9 days covered by flying surely requires a lot of energy.

  • If cells are fermenting, the ATP (energy) they generate only comes from glycolysis, which produces 2 ATP molecules.

  • If they are using aerobic respiration, glucose is completely oxidized to CO₂ through glycolysis and the Citric Acid Cycle, and the electrons enter the electron transport chain to finally reduce oxygen into water. In the complete process, up to 36 ATP molecules are produced.

In sum, aerobic respiration is much more efficient to generate energy than fermentation, so it's probably the main metabolism of the flight muscles in bar-tailed godwits.
