Answer:
A thick, dense fur, keeps the fox warm during winter, by preventing excessive loss of temperature and body heat when it is cold.
Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed by fragments of rock that are squeezed and cemented together. Answer A
What are the species that are labeled a to e?
Era is used to mark the boundaries of geological time scale by using radio carbon dating technique.
Explanation:
Geological time starts with Precambrian time.
Geologically, time is divided between the Precambrian era and present time into era.
The three eras are Paleozoic era, Triassic period and Cenozoic era.
Era is further divided into periods.
Scientists use radio carbon dating to study fossils and rock formation. With this study they were able to divide them in exact geological scale.
Geologic scale is the record of events in earth's history and evolution.
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
