The animals that live in the Alpine biome have to have special adaptations to survive in it as this is a biome with very harsh conditions for big portion of the year. The temperatures are very low, the winds are strong, winter lasts for half a year or more, and there's lot of snow. All this has made the animals to develop certain traits to help them survive. Some of those adaptations are:
- thicker and longer fur for better isolation form the outside conditions
- wider paws with denser and tougher skin, helping them to move easier in the snow and avoid frostbite
- larger lungs and nostrils for easier breathing in the high altitudes
- stockier bodies so that heat can be preserved easier
- the ears and tails are small and rounded in order to avoid frost bite
- big portion of them are able to hibernate for several months
Answer:
DNA ⇄ RNA → PROTEINS.
Explanation:
Central dogma explains the flow of genetic information of the living organism. The DNA is converted to RNA by transcription and further into protein product by the process of translation. DNA can increase its number by replication process.
Retroviruses do not follow the central dogma and they have the ability to convert the RNA into the DNA molecule by the enzyme reverse transcriptase. Their central dogma is as follows:
DNA ⇄ RNA → PROTEINS.
Thus, the answer is DNA ⇄ RNA → PROTEINS.
The answer is; D
It reduces the diversity of the population because some variations in the population can be completely eliminated by the bottleneck effect. Even if the population recovers in population size, the genetic variation will have reduced as compared to the initial population before the bottleneck. For a mall population, this effect can be grave because the reduced genetic variation may mean that the population may be unable to adapt to new selection pressures hence may go extinct.
