The answer here will be diet. As APOB gene helps them clear cholesterol from the blood stream which gets build up due to their high fatty diet.
Hope this helps!
In polar bears one gene, APOB, encodes a protein that binds to cholesterol. This gene has...
A geneticist discovers that two different proteins are encoded by the same gene. One protein has 56 amino acids, and the other has 82 amino acids. Which of the statements are possible explanations for how the same gene can encode both of these proteins? 1-The same gene encodes both proteins by using different combinations of introns in the pre‑mRNA via alternative splicing. 2-The same gene encodes both proteins by generating a poly(A) tail on the pre‑mRNA. 3-The same gene encodes...
Genetics Worksheet Week 3: Gene Regulation and Epigenetics 1. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by a mutation in a gene that is 2.5 million nucleotides in length and encodes a protein called dystrophin. The dystrophin protein itself is 3684 amino acids in length. Calculate below the approximate size of the mRNA that encodes dystrophin. Approximately what percentage of the gene that encodes dystrophin is intron sequence? The human genome encodes a much greater variety and number of proteins than the...

M phase QUESTION 3 During cell-cycle checkpoints, protein kinases known as CDKs phosphorylate target proteins only when they associate with a cyclin. True False QUESTION 4 During mitosis, many of the spindle fibers attach to chromosomes...

In a population of mice a particular locus has two alleles A1 (dominant) and A2 (recessive). There are 126 A1A1, 167 A1A2 and 88 A2A2. Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (3 pts)? In a population of Gragons, there are 3151 A1A1, 1678 A1A2 and 2014 A2A2 individuals. If the environment changes so that the homozygous recessive genotype suffers a reduction of fitness where its fitness is now 0.73, but the other genotypes are unaffected, what will be the frequency...

Exercise 2 Separation of a Mixture Based on Acid-Base Properties One purpose of this exercise is to learn how to use a separatory funnel to extract a single component away from other compounds in solution. To do so, we will apply the principles of solubility and acid-base behavior you’re seeing in class. One of the compounds is neutral in the acid-base sense. It has no ability to either donate or accept a proton from an aqueous solution, and will remain...
