The alpine biome is one of the coldest biomes on the planet, it is generally because of the high altitudes. The summer temperature varies in between -12 to 10 degree Celsius, and the average precipitation in the biome is about 30 cm in a year.

The animals living in the region, adapt to the cold by migrating to warmer regions, hibernating, or insulating their bodies with the help of fat and fur layers. Their bodies seem to possess shorter tails, legs, and ears, in order to minimize the loss of heat.

One of the animals living in the alpine biome is the wild yak, the animal has adapted to the biome with the help of dense and wooly coats, specially amended feet, horns to dig for food, and if necessary does the migration in winter times to the warmer regions.

Answer:

Postzygotic isolating mechanism

Explanation:

Reproductive isolation can occur due to prezygotic or postzygotic isolating mechanism. Prezygotic mechanism prevents fertilization of gametes and can occur due to different mating behavior, different mating time period etc. Postzygotic mechanism occurs after the formation of zygote i.e. the organisms are able to mate and fertilization also occurs. However the resultant zygote may not survive. It might not survive immediately or might die before reaching the reproductive maturity. Such a situation would still come under reproductive isolation because the resultant offspring is not viable and not able to pass on the genes to the next generation.

Why is it beneficial to use textiles made from synthetic fibers

mestny [16]

Synthetic fabrics are textiles made from man-made fibers rather than natural fibers. Chemically produced fabrics are made by joining monomers into polymers, through a process called polymerization. A synthetic fabric, when magnified, looks like plastic spun together.

Natural fabrics, such as cotton, silk, and wool, are made from animals or plant based fibers. While synthetic are man made and produced entirely from chemicals to create fabrics. such as polyester, rayon, acrylic, and more. The benefits of using textiles made from synthetic fibers is that it saves the animals and plants that the fibers are based off of.

A ________ is an animal that can transfer infectious pathogens from one host to another.

kifflom [539]

Answer:

Vector

Explanation:

Diseases can be transmitted by the mechanical or the biological vector. Vector is an animal (typically can be called as an arthropod) which carries disease from one host to another.

Mechanical transmission is the one in which an animal which carries the pathogen from on host body to the another without being infected by it. It is facilitated by the mechanical vector.

Biological transmission is th eone which occurs when pathogen reproduces within the biological vector which transmits pathogen from one host body to the another.
