The animals that live in the Alpine biome have to have special adaptations to survive in it as this is a biome with very harsh conditions for big portion of the year. The temperatures are very low, the winds are strong, winter lasts for half a year or more, and there's lot of snow. All this has made the animals to develop certain traits to help them survive. Some of those adaptations are:
- thicker and longer fur for better isolation form the outside conditions
- wider paws with denser and tougher skin, helping them to move easier in the snow and avoid frostbite
- larger lungs and nostrils for easier breathing in the high altitudes
- stockier bodies so that heat can be preserved easier
- the ears and tails are small and rounded in order to avoid frost bite
- big portion of them are able to hibernate for several months
Information is not passed on through DNA but through molecules having an influence on the DNA of the new generation.
This is one argument against Lamarck's ideas.
Biotic Factors are any living components that affect other organisms, and since soil is not alive (soil is an abiotic factor) then you can eliminate A., B., and C. D is the answer choice that has only biotic examples.
<span>Stability is often preceded by a "crash" since the growing population eventually is too large for the available resources.
Stability refers to population stability. The growth of the population may destabilize the population stability.
The population size may become so large, so there will be no enough resources for species to survive. </span>
The answer is A- sperm and egg. gametes are reproductive cells in mammals, so sperm and egg would be the correct.
