Which adaptation helps polar bears maintain a constant internal temperature (thermal homeostasis) in cold weather? three layers

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

The polar bear is an animal which is prevalent in the arctic region of the world which is characterized by very cold icy climate.

They adapt to these climatic conditions by maintaining a body temperature of 37°C through its thick fur and tough skin. It also has an insulating fat layer (adipose tissues) which is very thick.

This insulation helps in keeping the animal very warm in extreme temperatures.

How does the immune system function?

professor190 [17]

Answer:

Immune system of the body helps in fighting with the infectious agents that are foreign for the body. So the immune system protects us from infection.

When any foreign substance(antigen) comes in the body B-lymphocyte recognize it by binding the antigen through its receptor. After recognizing the antigen, B cell divides into antibody-producing plasma cell and memory cell.

Antibodies produced by plasma cells help in destroying the antigen by getting the antigen recognized by phagocytic cells or by complement activation.

B cells are antigen-presenting cell which present antigen to T cell and then T cell activates and produce chemicals that kill the antigen. Therefore the immune system has many immune cells that activate when an antigen comes in the body. This is how the immune system functions.

In beetles, the gene for color and the gene for pattern are located on the same chromosome and exhibit recombination. The lined

Pie

Explanation:

The genes that determine color and pattern are linked.

Solid pattern allele (L) is dominant over lined pattern (l)
Blue color allele (B) is dominant over aqua color (b)

<h3>Initial cross</h3>

Homozygous lined aqua beetle has the genotype lb/lb

It can produce only 1 type of gamete: lb

Homozygous solid blue beetle has the genotype LB/LB

It can produce only 1 type of gamete: LB

The F1 is formed by the union of the parents' gametes, so it will have the genotype lb/LB

<h3>F1 test cross</h3>

Test crosses involve a homozygous recessive individual.

The homozygous recessive individual lb/lb can only produce 1 type of gamete:

lb

The F1 individual lb/LB can produce 4 types of gametes:

lb - parental
LB - parental
lB - recombinant
Lb - recombinant
