Bunny Hop: Here’s Genetic Reason Why Some Animals Leap – Science Times
By observing a rabbit breed that can’t jump, scientists have pinpointed the gene required for animals to follow a traditional gait.
Experiments on a rabbit that couldn’t hop helped scientists discover the gene that allows kangaroos and other animals to run and fly, new report claims.
Scientists discovered the mystery behind the kangaroo’s bounce during experiments on ‘Alfort Jumper’ rabbits, who, despite their name, are unable to leap.
Rabbits, hares, kangaroos, and certain rodent species all hop, but the molecular and genetic reason for this form of action remains unclear.
Researchers published the research in the journal PLOS…
