State one importance of breeding in the vicinity of agriculture.

Kipish [7]

Answer:

One importance in breeding agriculture plants is to improve the plant's yield, resistance against diseases, and ability to survive in cold conditions.

(I'm assuming the question is asking what the importance is of artifically breeding plants, not literally breeding next to some plants. that would be weird)

What behavioral adaptations help snakes survive in hot dry places

Marizza181 [45]

Snakes have several behavioural adaptations that help them to survive in hot and dry places. One behaviour that a snake does is to make their head appear larger by spreading it apart. They will also roll over on their back to appear to have a seizure/convulsion to scare away predators. To survive in hot/dry places such as the desert, a snake will use thermoregulation. They do this by laying in the sun at optimal times such as late afternoon, midday, and sometimes early morning. This helps them to avoid the extreme temps. Many snakes can also make themselves blend into the environment around them and look like the surrounding landscape. Snakes have also evolved so that they won't need much hydration in the desert. They will get the water they need from the prey they eat.

Which statement is true about climate change and biodiversity?

8090 [49]

Climate change and biodiversity are two completely different things. In some areas, climate change will increase biodiversity, allowing more species to live in certain climates, but it will make some species lose their habitats. Biodiversity helps ecosystems thrive, and generally keeps things in balance. However, introducing too many species in an area can cause increase competition for food, risking predators of different species to kill one another off. Both climate change and biodiversity can be good and bad.

Answer: C. It can help some species and hurt others.
