Answer:
D.
Explanation:
D. the Sonoran Desert and a temperate rain forest
Answer: DESERT
Explanation:
Adaptation can be defined as the modification in the form, structure, function and behaviour of organisms in a habitat which enables them to live successfully and reproduce.
Desert is one of the types of the world biomes that is characterized with little or no rain and to extreme temperatures. Organisms, which includes plants and animals, must show some level of adaptation to able to survive the harsh environment.
The type of PLANTS which can survive in desert environment are called the XEROPHYTES. They show the following adaptations:
--> The roots are well developed: they grow down to great depths and branch extensively in order to absorb water
--> they possess swollen stems which contains water storage cells.
--> they have reduced leaves, for example in cacti in the form of spines, which helps to reduce water loss through transpiration.
The type of animal that survive in desert environment spend the hot dry seasons in a sleep-like torpid state called aestivation. This is so in order to avoid the heat. Their body size is usually small and less bulky: greater surface area in relation to body volume, thus enhancing heat loss from the body.
Organisms that live in the _________ must be adapted to little or no rain and to extreme temperatures.
Ans.
Genetic codes provide information for the protein synthesis as each code specifically codes a particular amino acid that gets joined in polypeptide chain during the process of translation.
Each genetic code is three letter code, made up of three nitrogenous bases. There are four different bases in DNA or RNA that make sixty four codes with different combinations, out of which sixty one code for amino acids and three act as stop codons.
Thus, nitrogenous bases are important in preserving the genetic codes.
has tremendous biodiversity and high rates of endemic species: of more than 200,000 known species found on Madagascar, more than 80 percent exist nowhere else. Unique to the island are over 100 kinds of lemurs, over 300 species of frogs, and 33 species of tenrecs, miniature hedgehog-like animals. However, it is one of the most threatened ecosystems on the planet.
