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

All of the following protect the skin and mucous membranes from infection except
leva [86]

The question is incomplete. Th ecomplete question is as following:

All of the following protect the skin and mucous membranes from infection EXCEPT  

A) multiple layers of cells.

B) tears.

C) saliva.

D) HCl.

E) the "ciliary escalator."

Answer: D) HCl.

Explanation:

  • The epidermis, the outer layer of the skin provides waterproofing and serves as a barrier to infection and other laers also sustain any type of injury.  
  • Tears wash out foreign bodies which enter the eye. In addition, tears contain a substance called lysozyme which has an antibacterial function and works to prevent microbial invasion and infection.  
  • Saliva protects against infection, especially via the innate immune system. This mechanism is an important first-line protection against bacterial and viral infection
  • The mucociliar escalator is within the conducting airways and is composed of mucus and cilia that transfer the mucus up and out of the lungs where it can be removed by coughing or swallowing,

Whereas HCL helps in the digestion process.

Hence, the correct option is D.
