Question

Which of the following conclusions about dewlap reflectance is supported by information in the passage? Lizard habitat is determined by dewlap reflectance for each species. High UV dewlap reflectance is most important in brightly lit habitats. High dewlap reflectance is most important in dimly lit habitats. Dewlap reflectance is highest at the blue end of the visible spectrum.

Answer 1

Answer: High Ultra violet dewlap reflectance is most important in brightly lit habitat.

Explanation:

lizards have a dewlap, this dewlap is what shade them from direct reflectance of ultraviolet ray. It an unshaded place where it is sunny high ultra violet dewlap reflectance is important as it becomes a means of adaptation to such areas.

Dewlap is a large layer of skin under the throat that they can fan out like a flag. Flashing the dewlap is important in territorial displays, warning signals, and courtship.
