Answer:

The rate of reproduction.

Explanation:

It should be understood that poiklothermic animals are the animals that do not have constant body temperature. This means that their temperature changes in accordance to the temperature of the environment. Examples of such organisms are reptiles and Pisces, fishes, among others.

The homeothermic animals are the animals that are capable of maintaining their body temperature.

Homeotherm is usually applied to animals that can maintain a constant body temperature through metabolic processes endotherms.

It should be understood that endothermy is the process of maintaining body temperature through internally generated metabolic heat

Examples of endothermic homeotherms are bird and mammals, these animals have a high metabolic rate.

In conclusion, the population of poiklothermic animals are more than that of homeothermic animals because of the rate of their reproduction. The poiklothermic animals reproduce in high numbers when compared to the the homeothermic animals.

Answer:

plate:  a disk formed in the phragmoplast of a dividing plant cell that eventually forms the middle lamella of the wall between the daughter cells.

plate boundary: Plate boundaries are the edges where two plates meet. Most geologic activities, including volcanoes, earthquakes, and mountain building, take place at plate boundaries. ... Convergent plate boundaries: the two plates move towards each other. Transform plate boundaries: the two plates slip past each other

earthquake: An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of stored energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. ... An earthquake is caused by tectonic plates getting stuck and putting a strain on the ground. The strain becomes so great that rocks give way by breaking and sliding along fault planes.

convirgent: In evolutionary biology, convergence pertains to an evolutionary process wherein organisms evolve structures that have similar (analogous) structures or functions in spite of their evolutionary ancestors being very dissimilar or unrelated.

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

agouti - aaBbCc

solid color - AaBBCC

agouti black - AAbbCc

albino - AaBbcc/Aabbcc/AABBcc

Explanation: All the phenotypes that contain cc will be albinos, so they won't present any pigment deposition. Agouti black depends on the A gene to be homozygous and the B to be recessive, so the phenotype AAbbC_ is the correspondent. If A is not homozygous and B isn't recessive, we have agouti color. If B is homozygous and A recessive, we have a solid color.
