During the warm temperatures of summer, the arctic fox produces enzymes that cause its fur to become reddish-brown. During the c

old temperatures of winter, these enzymes do not function. As a result, the fox has a white coat that blends into the snowy background. What explains this change in color?
the genes of a fox are made of unstable DNA
mutations can be caused by temperature extremes
random alteration of DNA can occur on certain chromosomes
the expression of certain genes is affected by temperature

Answer: the expression of certain genes is affected by temperature

Explanation:

For organisms to survive changing environmental conditions, a lot of molecular processes occur in the genes.

For the arctic fox, enzymes coded by specific genes are periodically "switched on or off" depending on the temperature.

Thus, the change in colour can be EXPLAINED by the expression of certain genes affected by temperature

What is the importance of crossing-over?
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

b.It increases the likelihood that daughter cells contain different genetic material.

Explanation:

Morgan and Cattell for the first time used the term ‘crossing over’.  Crossing over takes place during prophase I of meiosis. During crossing over, chromosome segments of non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes get exchanged. As a result, the daughter cells acquire different genetic materials. Thus, it provides genetic variation by creating a new combination of genes or get recombination and produces hybrids.

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

The correct answer is - warning system.

Explanation:

Warning systems are a type of system that could be technical or biological in nature that can help in assessing or inform about the possible danger or change in a particular setting such as ecosystem, weather, water quality, and many others. It helps in avoiding such threats before occurring or become serious threats.

Certain biological species that live or require a particular set of conditions for their survival and reproduction can act as a biological warning system for water pollution, air pollution.
