Answer:
It is considered a Scientific Theory.
Answer:
D. Several cells are in the process of dividing into two new cells
Explanation:
The universal cell theory which was proposed in 1838 and contributed by three scientists namely: Theodor Schwann, Rudolf Virchow, and Mathias Schleiden, consists of three components namely:
1) Cell is the basic and functional unit of life
2) All living organisms are made up of one or more cells.
3) All existing cells arise from pre-existing cells.
Hence, in this question involving a scientist who is observing living Cells in a Petri Dish under a Compound Light Microscope, the observation that "Several cells are in the process of dividing into two new cells" provides evidence to support one of the three components of the cell theory ( all living cells arise from preexisting cells).
The Arctic Fox lives in the Arctic Tundra (more or less around Alaska, Iceland I think, and other places like that). During the winter, their fur is very thick and solid white (not always SOLID but generally speaking). During the summer and spring, their fur turns brown.
1. Of course, during the winter in those regions, it's going to be snowing and ice is going to be all over the ground. By having a white coat, they're able to blend in and hide from predators, such as the Arctic Wolf and Polar Bears. By turning brown, they'll be able to blend in with the dirt after the snow and ice melts, and again, hide from predators. For the other fox, their brown coat blends in with the dirt, trees, dead leaves, etc. and they'll be able to hide from prey and predators alike.
2. The Arctic Fox also has very thick fur during the winter, which allows it to survive the extreme temperatures. They also dig burrows in the snow for shelter in blizzards. This gives them the ability to survive natural disasters (at least one of them).
I can't think of a third one but these should give you a pretty good idea of how their adaptations help them survive. I really love the Arctic fox so I know quite a bit about them. I really hope this helps you.

Common Knowledge
The desert environment makes it difficult to take in water, so leaves that are small would adapt to the desert environment by trying to conserve the little water that they do receive. Therefore, your answer should be:
b. They minimize water loss.
