Answer:

D. habitat preference

Explanation:

Habitat preference is one of the driving forces for ecological speciation that does not allow interbreeding between the members of a species. In habitat preference, some members of a species have a different preference for habitat than the others. They live in different habitats and do not interbreed. Over generations, these two populations of a species living in different habitats develop genetic variations and interbreed with the members of their own populations only. Gradually, these two populations would develop reproductive isolation and would evolve as two different species.

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.

In the southeastern United States, marshes are dominated by two species of smooth cordgrass; Spartina alterniflora dominates the
Olin [163]

Answer:

Option-4

Explanation:

In the given question, S. alterniflora grows in the seaward marsh whereas  S. patensis grows in the high marsh. When  S. alterniflora is removed, the S. patensis grows to a smaller portion whereas if S. patensis is removed, the  S. alterniflora covers all the land.

This shows that although both are different species but they share a niche and the marsh land is the fundamental niche of the  S. alterniflora as it can grow in all parts and therefore its distribution is limited by only a realised niche.

Thus, Option-4 is correct.
