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.
The correct answer is option C, that is, have a wider range of environments.
It has been known that geographic isolation is a general way for the initiation of the process of speciation, like the rise of mountains, rivers changing course, migration of organisms, continental drift, due to this what was once a steady population gets differentiated into two or more kinds of smaller populations.
A mountain range, due to distinctions in temperature and precipitation as a result of different altitudes, can lead to a higher rate of speciation. Due to these differences, a single mountain range can exhibit an enormous array of biodiversity and climate zones.
Answer: 14
Explanation:
(-4) + (-4) + 6+6+5 + 5
Recall that BODMAS rule must be obeyed
Address bracket first, and note that plus sign multiplied by minus sign becomes minus
so, (-4 - 4) + 6+6+5 + 5
(-8) + 6+6+5 + 5
= (-8) + 6+6+5 + 5
= (-8) + 22
= 14
Thus, the answer is 14
