Similar patterns of ontogenetic variation have also been observed in other rattlesnake species. For example, the transcriptomes fromCrotalus adamanteusadult and juvenile venom glands were sequenced from five populations, revealing that 12 from 59 toxin transcripts exhibit significant differential expression acr...
Generally,cobras deliver a neurotoxin, which interferes with nerve impulses and can cause paralysis of the heart and lungs. That’s different from that of many vipers, such as rattlesnakes. They generally have ahemotoxin that attacks the blood vesselsand causes bleeding and tissue damage. But Ni...
