Answer:

1. First of all, a squirrel would make sure to stash lots of food before and during the winter.

2. The squirrel would claim its own tree hollow/burrow.

3. They wrap themselves into a tight ball and go into a state of torpor (Torpor is a state where their body temperature becomes about the same temperature as their surrounding hibernaculum. This causes their heart rate to slow and causes them to use less energy)

4. Squirrels get up after 20 or so days to rewarm themselves up, and perhaps eat something to regain their energy. After that they will head back to their hibernaculum to continue hibernation.

5. When spring approaches they will fully wake up, go eat, regain their energy, and prepare themselves for the mating season.

Hope this helps :)

If a light is traveling straight up out of the ocean, then moves out of the air it will become less refracted because it is moving to a far less-dense medium, meaning the image will not be distorted.

How do DNA, chromosomes, and genes work as the instructions for heredity?

Margarita [4]

DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is the molecule in living organisms wherein the genetic code or genes is stored. The structural conformation of DNA in the nucleus of the cells is called chromatin and in cell division, chromatin is grouped into a certain number (46, in humans, for instance) called chromosomes.

DNA provides instructions for hereditary such that a part of DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA or mRNA for the genetic code to be transported outside the nucleus. The mRNA is then translated into polypeptides to form proteins that form specific functions in the human body.

Like mammals, dolphins breathe air, but they are born underwater. Which is an innate behavior that a dolphin uses to breathe for

yan [13]

The answer is B. This is because baby dolphins, when born, can't really comprehend a lot of things yet, so they, and the more adult dolphins there, try to get to the surface of the ocean to take a breath. :D I hope I helped!
