Step 1
This is not the best answer because accelerated breathing is a short-term response to high altitude, not a long-term developmental change. Genetic adaptation refers to changes in gene frequencies in a population over time due to natural selection. This is not the Show more…

Explain the difference between exposure, functional adaptation, and genetic adaptation relating to high altitude in humans. What are genetic adaptations for high altitude? Do you think that populations adapted for high altitude that carry the sickle cell allele would fair better or worse than populations not adapted for high altitude that carry the sickle cell allele?
