The arctic fox has adapted to its environment in a number of ways. Its fur turns white in winter and it does not begin to shiver

until temperatures plunge below 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Global warming is likely to bring many changes, including an increase in mean air temperature. Over time, the arctic fox will have to adapt to this change. Which adaptation is MOST LIKELY to occur? A) Its paw pads may thicken. B) Its fur may stay white longer. C) Its tail may have thinner fur. D) Its ears may be shorter and rounder.

Answer:  C) Its tail may have thinner fur.

Adaptation is the change or alteration in the organism which imparts changes in the structure, physiology and behavior of the organism. These changes allows the organism to survive in the drastic environmental conditions.

In the given situation, artic fox being living in the cold environment Its tail may have thinner fur. is the correct type of adaptation which may allow the artic fox to survive in changing environmental conditions due to global warming. As, global warming may cause change the climatic conditions of the artic regions. The thin fur may allow the loss of heat during summer conditions.

What ion is entering the axon terminal at A, and what effect does it have?
Katena32 [7]
The ion which is entering axon terminal A is called Ca²⁺.
The effect which it has is, it causes the release of neurotransmitter from the axon terminal.

Axon terminal is termed as distal termination of telodendria of an axon. Another name for the axon terminal is synaptic boutons. Axon is a long, slender projection which is of a nerve cell. 
Their work is to conduct electrical impulses which are referred to as action potential which is a way of neurons of the cell body. Neurons use electrochemical signals and also a neurotransmitter chemical which transmits impulses from one neuron to another.
Axon terminals are being separated from neighboring neurons by a gap known as a synapse. Both the axon terminal and neuron they come from a point which is called the presynaptic neuron.

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

The allele frequencies of both populations are likely to be similar.

Explanation:

An allele is a variant form of a given gene. Sometimes different alleles can cause variations in the observable characteristics of the species examined.

In the option given the chance that alleles are similar is very high because both populations exchange migrants very frequently and at a high rate so the genes of both populations are mixed very often.

I hope this answer helps you.

What does it mean if a population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? Be specific.
Andrej [43]

Answer:

The Hardy-Weinberg law states that in a sufficiently large population, in which matings occur randomly and that is not subject to mutation, selection or migration, gene and genotypic free frequencies are kept constant from one generation to another, once a state of equilibrium has been reached, which in autosomal loci is reached after one generation.

It is said that a population is in equilibrium when the alleles of the polymorphic systems maintain their frequency in the population throughout the generations.
