Answer and Explanation:

Even though Northern seals display a dark brown skin color, their pups are born with a fluffy white coat. This allows them to camouflage with the environment as they are unable to swim like the adults, keeping them away or hidden from predators.

Once they are around three weeks old, they start to lose this layer and begin to look like the "normal" seals.

Moreover, due the predominant climate in which they live, the color of the fur depends on genes and, therefore, enzymes. These enzymes are present during cold temperatures and, due to the warm conditions of the womb, these enzymes are denatured. After the seal pup is born, its cells produce a higher amount of enzymes to adjust to the temperature of their habitat and stays with the brown color to maintain homeostasis.

An enzyme that makes covalent bonds between the sugar of one nucleotide and the phosphate groups in another nucleotide in dna is
Travka [436]

An enzyme that makes covalent bonds between the sugar of one nucleotide and the phosphate groups in another nucleotide in DNA is ligase.

Enzymes are proteins that accelerate metabolism and chemical reactions in the body. They build some substances and break down others. All living things have enzymes. Our bodies naturally produce enzymes. However, enzymes are also found in finished products and foods.

Amylases: In saliva, amylases help convert starches to sugars. Maltase: Also found in saliva, it breaks down the sugar maltose into glucose. Trypsin: These enzymes break down proteins into amino acids in the small intestine. Your stomach, small intestine, and pancreas make all digestive enzymes.The pancreas is actually the enzyme "powerhouse" of digestion. Produces important digestive enzymes that break down carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
