Penguins are white from the front and black on the back. When they are swimming, they are at risk from predators both above and

below the water. Their coloring helps them because their dark backs blend into the water as seen from above. From below, they are white and are difficult to see against the sky above the surface of the sea. Which of these best describes this characteristic?A. recombinationB. homeostasisC. mutationD. adaptation

When an animal has a feature that helps them to disguise, in this case specifically making the animal blend into the surroundings, this is called a camouflage. A camouflage is a result of a process by which, under the pressure of natural selection, a feature gets prevalent in a species in order to make this species more fitted to the environment. In this case, the penguins are safer in their environment with this feature. This process is called adaptation, and this is a camouflage adaptation.

Therefore, the correct answer is D. adaptation.

The answer is to add a 0 hours control.

In every experiment, the control group is necessary. That way, effects of all variables except the independent one will be minimized. The<span> independent variable is variable that is not affected in the experiment. In this example, the amount of light. The dependent variable is called dependent because it depends on the independent variables. In this example, the dependent variable is the average volume of oxygen (photosynthesis).
But to minimize effects on variables, it is necessary to include the 0 hours group, so it can be compared to the other groups. </span>

The image shows the evolution of a species of fish. A few fish from a population developed different social behaviors and evolve
adell [148]

According to the image, the fish underwent sympatric speciation. The new species of fish had mating seasons that were different from that of the original fish. Because of the differences in mating seasons, the fish underwent reproductive isolation. This mode of isolation would be temporal.

Sympatric speciation happens within a population of an organism that gets isolated reproductively due to differences in their mating periods. This time dependent isolation is called temporal isolation. Example, a fish population can split into two if some of the fishes start mating early in the spring while the rest mate late in the autumn. The spring-mating population will not become compatible to mate with the late-autumn-mating population.
