Ice Fish are unique in what way? |
Some species have not hemoglobin in their blood, not only is it not expressed they lack the most of the gene. Some spices lack myoglobin as well |
|
|
When was the ability to produce myoglobin lost? |
In series of multiple events |
|
|
What type of mutations did the Ice Fish undergo? |
Harmful mutations, due to the fact that it did not make them more fit because now they are completely dependent on the rich O2 level in the water to provide them with enough O2 |
