Answer:

Hello! Sorry I'm late but here is my best answer!

Explanation:

This is a great question! Sheep's wool is made to keep them warm during the winter and cold weather. In summer there wool gets shaved off and used as yarn or other materials. Do they get colder when it is raining? If you ask a shepherd they would tell you, Sheep do just fine in the rain due to their fluffy wool coat. The wool does not shrink like it would in the wash on a sweater. This is because their wool fibers have scales that are all pointing in the same direction. When it rains or they get wet, it is possible for them to slide position without getting caught or locked into place. This allows them to keep warm in cold or wet weather. Why do sheep stand still in the rain? This is not because they are getting wet and they want to stay as still as possible to reduce cold like some people may say. The real reason is, because wool has hairy scales and grease on the surface, the sheep stand still, will let rain water flow down, reducing the area of ​​its own wetness. If the sheep is standing still the surface of the wool will eventually get wet but the water will not sink deep into the wool and eventually on the skin. So, the final answer to this question would be, No. Sheep do not really feel much temperature change when it is raining or cold outside!

Native species of North America are often defined as those species that were present in North America before Europeans arrived i
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

a) Yes! the American chestnut tree is a native species. The American chestnut tree was present before the Europeans arrived in North America in the 1600s. Since a native species has been defined as any species that was present in North America before the arrival of the Europeans, then it is a fact that the North American chestnut tree is a native species.

b) The chestnut blight is an invasive species that is native to east East Asia, and was accidentally introduced into North America around the early 1900s, when the Japanese chestnut was commercially cultivated in the United States.

c) Invasive species tend to proliferate at a very high rate because they lack some natural constraints in the new environment such as natural predators, competition, and as in the case of this chestnut blight; the host has no natural defense mechanism against them. These conditions allow them thrive more than they would in their natural environment, unchecked

d) Yes, I agree with this idea, albeit to some extent. The development of hybrid chestnut resistant to the chestnut blight will possibly return the forests back to how it was before the Europeans arrived in the 1600s, but the genetic conservation will be altered, since these new trees will be an hybrid of the old trees, and the forest won't truly be as it was before the 1600s
