The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "C A dense undercoat of fur beneath a longer top coat of fur." A dense undercoat of fur would help to insulate the rabbits and prevent them from losing body heat in a cold, windy environment and so could be called an adaptation.

Describe all the ways that a single tree might be involved in the carbon cycle.
avanturin [10]
<span>A single tree absorbs tons of carbon dioxide in its 30-year life cycle and it releases a ton of oxygen. The free nitrogen from the atmosphere is captured by the nitrogen-fixing bacteria and it converts nitrogen into nitrates and nitrites which is then absorbed by the plants. Trees, like all organisms, grow by adding mass (biomass). Carbon is the central ingredient in making that new biomass. Tree biomass is comprised of all parts of the tree; leaves, stems, branches, roots, tree trunks. The biomass of the woody tissue in the tree pictured on the right is made mostly of cellulose, a carbon compound. In a process called carbon fixation, plants transform CO2, an inorganic carbon compound into organic carbon compounds.</span>

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

It can be easily exploited by criminals, and it puts our undercover police officers and FBI officers in danger. Also, police officers are already swamped with work and criminal activity as is. It would also be ridiculously hard to get everybody already registered as a resident it the U.S. Take into account the different family types, and how hard it is for single mothers with children.

On the other hand, adding this, despite the obvious hardships, will make catching criminals much easier. Our blood DNA is unique to every human being. It would be extremely helpful to have a system like this in place. This would, at first, be hard to establish, but once it settles in, police officers would be able to spend much more time at home with their families instead of filling out paperwork for overtime.
