In eukaryotes, the DNA strands are linear, and DNA polymerase can't replicate the very ends of the DNA strands! These ends are "protected" by repeated sequences called "telomeres." Either the chromosome gets shorter with each replication, or else a special enzyme-nucleic acid complex called telomerase adds new telomeres to the ends. A prokaryotic chromosome is circular and thus does not have the problem of having ended. 

<span>Eukaryotic DNA is wound around histones, coiled, and supercoiled -- to replicate it, there have to be unwinding mechanisms, and mechanisms to reduce the degree of coiling. In prokaryotes, the winding problem is much less, and there aren't any histones.</span>

Of the given possible statements, the one that best supports that a newly discovered species is that the animal's body temperature increased when the ambient temperature increased. An exothermic animal relies on eternal temperatures to keep warm and so a rise in ambient temperatures would cause a rise in internal temperatures of the animal. Therefore, the answer is a.
