Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Xeroderma pigmentosum arises as a result of the cell being unable to correct lesions induced by UV. This can be as a result of mutations in the enzymes which include XP A-E needed for correction of the lesions. Failure to correct these lesions leads to their accumulation and then damage to the cell.

loblolly pine trees

Explanation:

Population density refers to the amount of organisms living in a particular area:

            Population density = \frac{number of organisms}{Area}

Area of the forest = 10acres

Population densities of:

  White-tailed deer = \frac{8 white tailed deer}{10acres}

                                 = 0.8white tailed deer/acres

   Coyotes = \frac{7 coyotes}{10acres}= 0.7coyotes/acres

   Armadillos = \frac{45 armadillos}{10acres} = 4.5armadillos/acres

   loblolly pine = \frac{231loblolly pine trees}{10acres} = 23.1loblolly pine trees/acre

The population with the highest density is that of the loblolly pine trees with 23.1 of the trees in an acre.

What r some adaptions that help animals who live in the Alpine biome survive​
neonofarm [45]

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

Describe some of the factors that have contributed to the success of seed plants
SpyIntel [72]
Heterospory, highly reduced gametophytes, ovules, pollen, seeds are the five adaptations common to all seed plants that ensure their success in the adaptation to land. Three things: The gametophytes of seed plants are reduced and dependent upon the parent sporophyte which protects them (particularly in the case of the female gametophyte). Pollen is covered with sporopollenin which is resistant to physical factors in the environment. The structure of the seed protects the next generation sporophyte and allows it to remain dormant until conditions are right for germination, development and growth.
