Answer:

High amounts of melanin.

Explanation:

Dark-pigmented people living in high sunlight environments are at an advantage due to the high amounts of melanin produced in their skin. The dark pigmentation protects from DNA damage and absorbs the right amounts of UV radiation needed by the body, as well as protects against folate depletion.

Boreal owls range over a much larger area than do other owls of similar size. The reason for this behavior is probably that the
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

(B) Boreal owls range over larger areas in regions where food of the sort eaten by small mammals is sparse than they do in regions where such food is abundant

Explanation:

Living beings exhibit various changes in the behavior and niche to make themselves better fitted to the conditions of their habitats.  

Boreal owls feed on the other smaller mammals such as mice and shrews. These organisms that serve as their prey are relatively less abundant in the habitat. To ensure the food availability, the boreal owls occupy a larger area so that they can catch their less abundant food organisms.  

In the habitats where the prey species of boreal owls are present in a larger number, these owls occupy smaller regions since the food organisms are easily available.

How is the genotype of the offspring different from that of the homozygous dominant parent?
tatuchka [14]

Hope it helps :')
