The most appropriate reason should be the conduction of air.

Temperature could drop because of conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction by direct contact, convection if the air move to the nenonate and radiation by electromagnet waves.
If the neonates don't get blow up by the AC directly, the temperature drop would because of the contact with the air. In this condition, it is best to cover the patient with a blanket so the contact will be minimized.

The right answer is decreased nonshivering thermogenesis.

The increase in metabolism allows an increase in the production of heat. Newborns use their brown fat as a source of heat, it is a non shivering thermogenesis.

The second mechanism for increasing heat in humans is increased muscle tone and shivering, but in the newborn there is no chill.

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

1. The population will increase as they're better adapted to their environment and have a higher survival rate due to this helpful phenotype.

Many species of gulls feed their chicks by regurgitating food. When parents return from foraging, the gull chicks peck at a red
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

fixed action pattern, key stimulus; key stimulus, fixed action pattern

Explanation:

  • An innate behavior which specific to a species and is highly stereotyped is termed as a fixed action pattern.
  • This behavior occurs due to a neuronal network that is hard-wired in the species and the response is said to be generated following a key stimulus.
  • A key stimulus is the one that generates a fixed action pattern and this is also called a releaser.
  • A key stimulus can be in the form of shape, sound, color, or a combination of these.
  • In this case, the red spot is a stimulus for the chicks which causes them to peck at their parent's bill, and hence, the red spot is a key stimulus, and pecking of the chicks is a fixed action pattern.
  • The parents regurgitate the food only when the chicks peck at their bills, so pecking is a key stimulus for the parents which causes them to regurgitate the food which is a fixed action pattern.
