Option (A) Torpor is the correct answer

Organisms that undergo hibernation have the ability to slow down their metabolism so as to lower the core temperature. This process is known as Torpor.

<h3>Why is torpor important for organisms undergoing hibernation?</h3>

Torpor is a state in animals where they lower all their metabolic activities and bodily functions so as to keep the body temperature low.

It is done by the animals to conserve resources in conditions where scarcity of food is there.

Some birds undergo torpor to conserve fat in the body.

Some animals use this technique of torpor to survive competition with other species.

These organisms come back to normal physiology when the conditions become favorable.

Los autosomas o cromosomas autosómicos han sido ordenados de acuerdo a la morfología que poseen. ... Cada par de cromosomas son homólogos, es decir, contienen genes idénticos, con la misma ubicación a lo largo de cada cromosoma (locus). Ambos codifican para las mismas características genéticas.

Un autosoma es cualquier de los cromosomas, excepto los cromosomas sexuales. Los humanos tienen 22 pares de autosomas y un par de cromosomas sexuales (el par número 23, formado en las mujeres por dos cromosomas X y, en los hombres, un cromosoma X y un cromosoma Y).
