Platypus is an Australian mammal that lives in deciduous forests. Platypus's bill is adapted in order to allow platypus to travell and find its way in the river without using vision. This adaptation is achieved through special receptors that sense touch and electricity. Platypus's feet are webbed, enabling them to swim fast and efficiently and move easily on muddy surfaces.
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer: a. Increasing the surface area for diffusion 
Explanation:
When the air is inhaled through the nostrils, the air containing the oxygen the air diffuses inside the alveoli. The alveoli are the tiny sacs where air enters and exchange of gases takes place. From the alveoli the oxygen enters into the blood stream. The oxygen is utilized by the cells for respiration. The increase in network and number of the alveoli will increase the surface area for the diffusion of oxygen and hence, will speed up the respiration process. 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:  
Birds have a different mating season this evidence will go against the argument and suggest that the birds are actually different species. Generally, two factors seasonal and behavioral identifies the differences among the species. Species generally interbred among the same population of species according to the season and hence they loose mating opportunities.  Although being sexually compatible they do not interbreed. Behaviorally, a biological clock in species naturally sets breeding cycle according to the resources availability, suitable nesting sites and mating opportunities. Different species have different seasonal requirements to accomplish this.
