Answer:

By panting or breathing heavily.

Explanation:

<em>An ectothermic animal is one whose body temperature depends on the temperature of the external environment.</em>

The body of ectotherms regulates temperature depending on the temperature of the external environment where such animal finds itself.

Hence, when the temperature of the external environment rises as a result of hot air, the body of an ectotherm (that is homeothermic, that is, maintain a relatively constant body temperature irrespective of the temperature of the external environment) will adjust so as to keep its temperature relatively constant.

Dogs generally pant (breathe heavily) to bring their body temperature back to normal whenever it rises beyond normal due to rigorous physical activities or high external temperature.

<em>Hence, a fox will most likely pant in response to hot air temperature just like dogs.</em>

Evolution Due to environmental factors, It may not look it, but, needles are leaves, they collect solar radiation to produce glucose through the process of photosynthesis, however, needles are, some would say, evolutionary superior to leaves. Needles themselves hold in more water due to their dense wax coating, they are very difficult for insects and other organisms to eat, one because of their structure, and two because of their acidity, they can catch sunlight all year long due to their winter resilience( they don't fall, during the winter), and they have less surface area for wind to catch, which leaves them better protected from wind than most deciduous trees, however the surface area can also pose a larger problem for less surface area means less sunlight interception, therefore more are needed to compete against regular leaves. But.. I Digress... Plant needles are 'PROBABLY' initially the result of evolution of narrow leaves due to climate or environmental factors. 

Sry its so long got carried away! Hope this helps xD

Which statements is not true about prokaryotes?
irina [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is b. prokaryotes store their genetic information in a nucleus

Explanation:

Prokaryotes are organisms that do not have a true nucleus. A true nucleus is an organelle that is membrane-bound and contains the cell's genetic material inside it.

In prokaryotes nucleus is not present do its genetic material is spread in the cytoplasm of the cell. Bacteria and archaea are considered to come under the prokaryotes group because they do not have a membrane-bound nucleus and other organelle.

Eukaryotes are the organisms that have membrane-bound nucleus and they store their genetic information in the nucleus. Therefore the correct answer is b. prokaryotes store their genetic information in a nucleus.

Mnenie [13.5K]
B. a specific place on a chromosome where a particular gene resides.

A locus (plural loci) in genetics is the position of a gene on a chromosome. Each chromosome carries many genes; humans' estimated 'haploid' protein coding genes are 19,000-20,000, on the 23 different chromosomes. A variant of the similar DNA sequence located at a given locus is called an allele.
