Cacti grow in the desert, which is a very hot climate. Not the best for both gaining and maintaining water supplies, due to the fact that water becomes vapour very quickly in conditions such as a desert (unless we're talking about polar deserts).

Keeping their stomata closed during the day stops water vapour from escaping their cells. While this does inhibit growth and stop new water molecules from entering, it allows the cactus to maintain a healthy amount of water within itself.

One species called the naked mole-rat, has some unique differences. They have a social structure similar to that of ants and bee
Verizon [17]

Answer:

May be of the environment they live or genetics.

Explanation:

This naked mole rat species evolved back to an ectothermic life style rather than staying endothermic like all other mammals because of the environment they live or change in the genetic makeup. The main reason for this evolution may be the environmental they lives or through the change in genetic makeup of this naked mole rat species so both factors can contribute in the evolution.

1. What percentage of puppies would have the same genotype as the<br> parents, Ww?
wolverine [178]

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene with two alleles W and w in puppies. According to the question, the genotype of the parent organisms are Ww. In a cross between the two parents i.e. Ww × Ww, the following gametes will be produced by each parent: W and w.

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following genotype of offsprings will be produced: WW, Ww, Ww, ww. Hence, based on this question, the percentage of puppies that would have the same genotype as the parents, Ww are 1/2 × 100% = 50%.

Temperature and kinetic energy are ___________ proportional.
Natali5045456 [20]

Directly

Explanation:

The average kinetic energy of a gas particle is directly proportional to the temperature. An increase in temperature increases the speed in which the gas molecules move. All gases at a given temperature have the same average kinetic energy.

Everyone in Squidward’s family has light blue skin, which is the dominant trait for body color in his hometown of Squid Valley.
Colt1911 [192]

All their children will have heterozygous genes because squidward is "purebred", or homozygous dominant. His wife has to be homozygous recessive for a recessive trait to show up. Every time you cross a homozygous dominant trait with a homozygous recessive trait, you will get heterozygous kids. This means all of them will have light blue skin.
