Answer: The correct answer for the fill in the blank is A) Found near coasts.
Chaparral biomes are found in small regions of almost every continent. This generally includes areas near the coast like the coastal areas of the Mediterranean. They have quite hot and dry cimatic conditions.
The different types of terrains in these biomes are slopes of mountains, rocky hills etc. The weather conditions change constantly in these biomes. Therefore, plants and animals found in these biomes adapt quickly to the changing environmental conditions.
Because the temperatures vary on high global temperatures and its economy.
The answer is D. The natural selection is a theory which illustrates the gradual process of evolution in the population due to the change of environment. The key point is the mutation (variation) exists in the population before the environment changing. For C, if the environment does not change, though the adaptation is useful to environment, it will not be selected. Because the organisms without the adaptation will not die.
