To answer this we need to analyze each statement
camouflage, mimicry, and stingers: This is meant to escape predation and fend off predators, so this is the correct answer.
hibernation and migration: This is meant for breeding and or food energy storage, to pass hard seasons so is also incorrect.
courtship and breeding behaviors: This is meant for reproduction and to ensure offspring so this is incorrect.
nesting and food gathering: this is a behavior for survival, resource use rather than defense, si this is not correct.
Protein
Proteins are the most versatile
macromolecules in living systems and they play important roles in essentially
all biological processes. Protein makes up the capsid of a virus. The infective
extracellular form of a virus known as a virion contains at
least one unique protein synthesized by specific genes in the nucleic acid of
that virus. In almost all viruses, at least one of these proteins forms a shell
(called a capsid) around the nucleic acid. Certain viruses also have other
proteins internal to the capsid. Some of these proteins act as enzymes during
the synthesis of viral nucleic acids.
No they cannot. Lol lol lol
The scientific method has five basic steps, plus one feedback step: Make an observation. Ask a question. Form a hypothesis, or testable explanation.
