<span>The arctic hare lives in the harsh environment of the North American tundra. These hares do not hibernate, but survive the dangerous cold with a number of behavioral and physiological adaptations. They sport thick fur and enjoy a low surface area to volume ratio that conserves body heat, most evident in their shortened ears. These hares sometimes dig shelters in snow and huddle together to share warmth.</span>
In a monohybrid cross with two heterozygous parents the result will be a genotypic ratio of 1:2:1 for homozygous dominant to heterozygous to homozygous recessive. The phenotypic ratio will be 3:1 dominant trait to recessive trait.
