The arctic fox has adapted to its environment in a number of ways. Its fur turns white in winter and it does not begin to shiver

until temperatures plunge below 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Global warming is likely to bring many changes, including an increase in mean air temperature. Over time, the arctic fox will have to adapt to this change. Which adaptation is MOST LIKELY to occur?
A) Its paw pads may thicken.
B) Its fur may stay white longer.
C) Its tail may have thinner fur.
D) Its ears may be shorter and rounder.

I would say C. Why I say this is because fur is used to keep an animal warm. If the animal no longer needs to be kept warm, then it no longer needs the thick fur.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Arctic fox is well adapted to live in colder regions. It has got its body designed  in that way only.

It has fur on body which provides thermal insulation from the colder environment. Due to rise in temperature, the arctic fox will have to adapted according to the changing conditions.

Its tail might have thinner fur, because thick fur is required to provide warmth which is no more required.

Which of the following best describes the information presented in this Punnett square?
Rasek [7]
The Punnett square is a diagram that is used to predict an outcome of a particular cross or breeding experiment. It is named after Reginald C. Punnett, who devised the approach. The diagram is used by biologists to determine the probability of an offspring having a particular genotype. The Punnett square is a tabular summary of possible combinations of maternal alleles with paternal alleles. These tables can be used to examine the genotypic outcome probabilities of the offspring of a single trait (allele), or when crossing multiple traits from the parents. The Punnett Square is a visual

In sickle-cell disease, malformation of red blood cells is caused by only one mistake for one amino acid in the genetic code for
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

A. True

Explanation:

Hemoglobin is a protein and has two distinct types of polypeptide chains. These are called the alpha and beta subunits. The gene that code for the beta chain undergoes a mutation in a single base that causes sickle cell anemia. Here, adenine base in the genetic code for glutamic acid is substituted with a thymine base.

The genetic code for glutamic acid in the beta chain gene is GAG. The "A" is replaced with "T" and the new code "GTG" codes for valine. Therefore, the mutated hemoglobin has valine in place of glutamic acid. This makes these mutated protein molecules to form aggregates resulting in a change in the shape of RBCs carrying them.
