Background:
You are working as an intern in a small biotechnology company that is trying to develop genetic engineering approaches to improve the ability of humans to swim under water without SCUBA equipment or other sources of oxygen. As a physiologist, you realize that this problem has already been solved by marine mammals and birds who are able to function under water for extended periods of time. You decide to do some background research on diving mammals and birds and prepare a list of possible strategies to present at the next research staff meeting.
Assignment:
State two possible strategies for enhancing the ability of humans to function under water without access to additional oxygen and briefly discuss why you think each strategy would be effective.
