Answer:

It takes Earth longer to revolve around the sun than to rotate on its axis.

Explanation:

The vocabulary can be tricky in this question. It is important to remember that the term revolution refers to something moving around a fixed point. In this case, the earth is the object revolving around sun which is the fixed point in the frame of reference.

Now, the earth rotates at a constant speed around its axis. This is what causes the day/night cycle. The earth itself is spinning, therefore we use the term rotate.

Answer: the expression of certain genes is affected by temperature

Explanation:

For organisms to survive changing environmental conditions, a lot of molecular processes occur in the genes.

For the arctic fox, enzymes coded by specific genes are periodically "switched on or off" depending on the temperature.

Thus, the change in colour can be EXPLAINED by the expression of certain genes affected by temperature

Answer:

There are many green house gases and carbondioxide is one of them. Green house gas has the ability to stop the heat from going to the atmosphere. This heat energy reduces the atmospheric carbondioxide to dissolve in the ocean water so more concentration of carbondioxide is present in the atmosphere which stop the reflected sunlight rays into the space and thus increase the temperature of the earth surface. This increase in temperature called global warming.
