What animal has the strongest bones?
In the water it’s probably the blue whale. But also remember teeth are the hardest of all bone types. It’s the main reason why we know about the megalodon shark. Sharks have cartilaginous skeletons which don’t fossilize very well but they have plenty of teeth.
Which race has lowest bone density?
Chinese people have lower average bone mineral density than most other racial groups, but Chinese women have lower rates of spine fractures than white women and much lower rates of hip fractures than white women.
What are some amazing human genetic mutations?
Ocular albinism: When we see children from a primarily dark-eyed family having blue or green eyes,they are most likely ocular albinos.
What is the most harmful genetic mutations?
Frameshift mutations are generally much more serious and often more deadly than point mutations. Even though only a single nitrogen base is affected, as with point mutations, in this instance, the single base is either completely deleted or an extra one is inserted into the middle of the DNA sequence.
What do mutations in Hox genes cause?
The Hox genes are so named because mutations in them cause homeotic transformations. Homeotic transformations were first identified and studied by William Bateson in 1894, who coined the term “homeosis”.
