Explanation:

The gut microbiome has a fundamental role during the first years of life. Newborns 'contaminate' with microbes from contact with family members, and, subsequently, these microorganisms act to colonize their gut microbiome. Metagenomics analyses showed that microbiome diversity may be very high among infants and early microbial colonization has been shown to be critical during this process. The gut microbiota has critical functions which include, among others, nutrient homeostasis, mineral absorption, enzymatic activity, synthesis of amino acids, etc. It has been reported that early microbial colonization can even modulate target gene expression through the alteration of epigenetic marks (i.e., differential DNA methylation patterns).

mountains can affect the climate of nearby lands. in some areas, mountains block rain, so that one side of a mountain range may be rainy and the other side may be a desert. much of airborne moisture falls as rain on the windward side of mountains.

explanation:

answer: accepted answer: aquatic animals use the oxygen dissolved in water to carry out respiration. since the amount of dissolved oxygen in water is low as compared to the amount of oxygen in the air, therefore the rate of breathing in aquatic animals is much faster than it is in terrestrial animals.
