SCI 115 - Introduction to Biology

"High Altitude Adaptation, Co-evolution, and Rodenticides in Ludwigschafen"

For your primary post, please respond to one of the following three topics with a post of at least 125 words that addresses each point given in the instructions. Also, please reply to at least one fellow student on any topic.

Topic 1 [video]:  High Altitude Adaptation. In the recorded interview (1)*, Emilia Huerta-Sanchez describes some research her team conducted. Watch the video, then address the following issues: 

• (a) What data did they collect, who did they collect it from, and what were they looking for? 
• (b) Which gene was implicated as a gene associated with high altitude adaptation, and what does it do? 
• (c) Why do they think that the high incidence of this gene in populations who live at high altitudes is due to natural selection?
