The first answer should be the right one
A population that has been isolated, especially a smaller one, could have a high level of homozygosity and therefore not a lot of genetic variation. Gene flow between such populations can increase the level of heterozygosity, and therefore up genetic variation.
Option (A) Torpor is the correct answer
Organisms that undergo hibernation have the ability to slow down their metabolism so as to lower the core temperature. This process is known as Torpor.
<h3>Why is torpor important for organisms undergoing hibernation?</h3>
Torpor is a state in animals where they lower all their metabolic activities and bodily functions so as to keep the body temperature low.
It is done by the animals to conserve resources in conditions where scarcity of food is there.
Some birds undergo torpor to conserve fat in the body.
Some animals use this technique of torpor to survive competition with other species.
These organisms come back to normal physiology when the conditions become favorable.
