why do all of these animals have white fur?

a. white fur animals survive in an arctic environment, so animals with white fur are more likely to pass on their genetic traits than other animals.

b. white fur animals survive in an arctic environment, so animals will lighten their fur color as the seasons get colder from autumn to winter.

c. all animals that live in an arctic environment are part of the same overall kingdom, and all members of that kingdom must have white fur.

d. all animals that live in an arctic environment are part of the same overall species, and all members of that species must have white fur.

Ry was studying two populations of the same species of lizards. one population lived on an island and the other lived on the mainland. both populations were affected by a hurricane that hit the island and the mainland with equal force. a year later, henry was testing the gene frequency and saw a decrease in genetic variation in the island species, but not in the mainland species. which best describes a conclusion he might have reached? gene flow greatly affects small populations, but large populations can recover. genetic drift greatly affects small populations, but large populations can recover. gene flow greatly affects large populations, but small populations can recover. genetic drift greatly affects large populations, but small populations can recover.

Which best describes the scientific method? a. a path of clearly defined steps that must be followed in a particular order b. a possible answer to a scientific question based on knowledge or research c. the recipe for how to conduct an experiment that must be followed precisely d. the process of hypothesis and testing through which scientific inquiry occurs
