Answer: adaptability
Explanation:
Adaptation is a change that occur in the genetic make up, morphology and physiology of the living organism so as to make it suitable for survival in the adverse conditions.
Camouflage is the ability of the organism to change it's physical features or morphology so as to remain protected against the danger of being harmed by the predators or to take advantage of being hidden from the eyes of prey so as to obtain it as food. Camouflage is a kind of adaptation which makes the organism capable of surviving in the adverse environmental conditions.
Flounder is a species of flat fish. These fishes can be found near the sea bed. They posses an adaptation of camouflaging the predators by their skin. The color of these fishes blends with their surrounding lower bottom sediments. This makes them undetected by the predators such as shrimps, fish larvae and worms.
Answer:
In an area of alpine glaciation, sinuous, sharp-edged ridges called <u>aretes</u> and sharp, pyramid- like peaks called<u> horns</u> are common features.
Explanation:
The glaciers in a valley form various features due to erosion. Two of these features are the aretes and horns.
When two glaciers gradually wear away, a willowy ridge is made which separates one valley from another. This is known as the Arete. For example, The “Garden Wall” made in the Glacier National Park, Montana
When several Aretes crumble, horns are formed. The horns can be seen as the peaks on the top of the mountains. E.g The Matterhorn in Switzerland
Answer:
All animals need oxygen to make energy from food. We get this oxygen from the air that we breathe. In order to get the oxygen into the blood where it can be transported to the rest of the body, the air travels through a system of organs called the respiratory system. When you inhale, air enters the body through the nose or the mouth. From there it passes through the pharynx, which forces air into the trachea and food into the esophagus. The air travels down the trachea into two branching tubes called bronchi and then on into the lungs. In the lungs oxygen from the air enters the blood. At the same time, the waste gas carbon dioxide leaves the blood and then leaves the body when you exhale. Some water vapor also leaves the body when you exhale, which is why mirrors get foggy when you breathe on them. The diaphragm is the muscle that controls the lungs. It is important to keep the respiratory system clear so oxygen can keep flowing into your body. If something gets in your nose and irritates it, you sneeze. If something gets in your trachea or bronchi and irritates it, you cough. If something irritates your diaphragm, you hiccup. Finally, if the brain thinks you are not getting enough oxygen, then it forces you to yawn.

Jean-Baptiste Lamarck is the researcher who developed the theory
of use or disuse, also called the theory of acquired characteristics. Jean-Baptiste Lamarck is a French biologist, Lamarck
founded a school of French Transformationism which included Étienne Geoffroy
Saint-Hilaire, and which corresponded with a radical British school of anatomy
based in the extramural anatomy schools in Edinburgh, Scotland, which included
the surgeon Robert Knox and the comparative anatomist Robert Edmond Grant.
Answer:
A. Explains how organisms change in response to the environment.
Explanation:
A scientific theory is an EXPLANATION of an aspect in the natural world. In other words, it just tells why something happens. Now it is not just a guess, it is well-supported by evidence and previous studies.
Now to knock out your other choices:
B. is wrong because:
A scientific theory does not predict. It can serve as a basis for a prediction, or what you call a hypothesis, but it does not predict an outcome.
C. is wrong because:
As mentioned earlier, a theory is WELL-SUPPORTED by evidence and previous research.
D. is wrong because:
A theory does not become a scientific law.
