Answer:

They are able to take up and store more oxygen in their muscles

Explanation:

According to Oxford dictionary, myoglobin is ''a red protein containing haem, which carries and stores oxygen in muscle cells. It is structurally similar to a subunit of haemoglobin.''

The fact that Tibetans have a high level of myoglobin implies that they are able to take up and store more oxygen in their muscles since myoglobin is involved in storage of oxygen in muscle cells. Hence elevated levels of myoglobins enables the muscle cells to work more effectively.

vfiekz [6]

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs on each side of your spine<span>, under your ribs and behind your belly. Each kidney is about 4 or 5 inches long, roughly the size of a large fist. It goes to the kidneys to extract water from the excretory system and put it back into the blood. Kidneys filter your blood. They eliminate wastes, control the body's fluid balance, and hang onto the right levels of electrolytes. All of the blood in your body passes through them quite a few times a day.</span>

Yanka [14]

Answer:

One strand of all the isolated DNA double helices would have C-14 labeled thymidine.

Explanation:

DNA replication is a semiconservative process which means that each newly formed DNA double helix contains one parental strand and one newly formed strand.

Since the medium has thymidine labeled with C-14, all the newly formed strands formed during DNA replication would have radio-labeled thymidine.

Therefore, by the end of 20 minutes, one out of two strands on each double helix would have labeled thymidine nucleotides.
