It's an important part of the bird's ability to maintain its body temperature. 
Air is a poor conductor of heat, so the air trapped among the feathers
prevents the loss of heat in cold atmosphere, and prevents overheating
in hot atmosphere.  Much like our wearing several layers of clothing.

How does predation alter a population’s gene pool?
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Hence, it this way predation leads to selective pressure on any species and hence leads to creation of a fit gene pool. The weak organisms are removed and more fit organism could mate among themselves to produce healthy offspring.  

 Hence, option C is correct

dem82 [27]
This type of asexual reproduction is called apomixis. 
Apoximis is reproduction by special generative tissues without fertilization. It includes parthenogenesis in animals, in which the new individuals develop from unfertilized egg, and apogamy in certain plants in which the generative tissues may be the sporophyte or the gametophyte.
