Answer:

A mutation in the DNA sequence of the gene for brown fur  

Explanation:

The mutations are capable of changing the encoded protein product, in this case the gene that encodes for the fur color pigment. This mutation may have occurred during mitosis or meiosis divisions.

If it is a spontaneous mutation that occurred in the germinal line (meiosis) and confers an adaptive advantage, it will increase their frequency in the population.

Which best describes how waste is secreted in each system
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

The digestive system excretes a solid waste, and the excretory system excretes liquid waste.

Explanation:

The digestive system is the system of the body that breaks down food substances to enhance so that they can absorb them. But it also excretes solid indigestible substances. For excreating, they use the defecation process.

Excretory system, on the other hand, is a system in the body that removes homeostatic wastes from the body by using a process which is called excretion. Excretory includes organs such as liver, sweat glands, lungs. Among this, the liver plays a critical role in the secretion of homeostatic wastes in the form of fluids.

The excretory system collects and then filters excess water which is present in the body and then excretes it as a liquid waste either from the liver, kidneys, or sweat glands on the skin through sweating.

Kryger [21]
I believe the main purpose of wildlife (movement) corridors is to connect two otherwise isolated populations. Wildlife corridors are links of wildlife habitat that joins tow or more larger areas of similar wildlife habitat. They are very critical for the maintenance of ecological processes such as allowing the movement of animals and the continuation of viable populations.
