[Q]: Given the following passage  "Even at high latitudes, glacier formation is not inevitable. Areas of the Arctic, such as Banks Island, and the McMurdo Dry Valleys in Antarctica are considered polar deserts where glaciers cannot form because they receive little snowfall despite the bitter cold. Cold air, unlike warm air, is unable to transport much water vapor. Even during glacial periods of the Quaternary, Manchuria, lowland Siberia, and central and northern Alaska, though extraordinarily cold, had such light snowfall that glaciers could not form.",  answer the following question. Note that the answer is present within the text.  Question: What factor allows glaciers to form
****
[A]: snowfall

[Q]: Given the following passage  "Early work in molecular genetics suggested the model that one gene makes one protein.

Note that the answer is present within the text.  Question: Trans-splicing and alternate splicing, which one is used for one gene to form new genes?
