Primary Growth 
The root system also has an apical meristem, known as the root apical meristem<span>. This acts in much the same way as the shoot apical meristem, causing extension growth. The main difference is this growth goes down into the ground, and roots, not leaves and branches, come from the root apical meristem. 
</span>Secondary Growth
<span>The width of a plant, or its girth, is called </span>secondary growth<span> and it arises from the </span>lateral meristems<span> in stems and roots. As with apical meristems, lateral meristems are regions of high cell division activity. However, the cells they make grow outward rather than upward or downward. Eudicots use lateral meristems to add to their width; monocots, however, do not experience secondary growth.</span>

The white hair of a polar bear is an example of a(n) __________
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

The white hair of a polar bear is an example of adaptation.

Explanation:

Adaptation allows organisms to adjust to their surroundings so that they can survive. Polar bears live in the Arctic region, which is one of the coldest places in our planet. They have sharp teeth and their ears are small to reduce the heat loss. They have a thick coat of insulated fur, which insulates their thick layer of body fat and keeps them warm. They have large paws, that are covered by fur which protects them from sinking in the snow and also provides a good grip on ice. Their coat of white fur helps them to hide from their prey by providing a camouflage in Arctic environments.
