Answer:

More darker skins are more resistant to disease than lighter skins.

Explanation:

  • The skin color pigmentation is based on the genetic makeup that is biological factors and physiological factors such as solar insolation, heat humidity, and temperature. The human's skin color ranges from dark brown to lighter hues.

Predict how a fish's behavior would change if it had an open circulatory system instead of a closed circulatory system
o-na [289]

Since the blood does not return to the heart after flowing through the gills, pressure is not regenerated within the system before it flows to the systemic circulation (the rest of the body). A single circulation would experience a loss of pressure after flowing through the gas change organs (gills of a fish) due to the high cross-sectional area presented by the capillaries of the gills. For ectotherms like fish, this is efficient enough to support their activity level. A fishes behavior would change in a few ways if it had an open circulatory system. However, the most common would be the fish would become extremely active.
