"Watermelon snow" in Antarctica is caused by a species of photosynthetic green algae that thrives in subzero temperatures (Chlamydomonas nivalis). These algae are also found in high altitude in year-round snowfields. In both locations, UV light levels tend to be high. The reddish-pink color of these algae is due to the presence of carotenoid pigments, which absorb blue light while reflecting red light. Those pigments protect the chloroplast from ultraviolet radiation, as well as absorbing heat, which provides the algae with liquid water as the snow melts around it. This molecular variation in plants illustrates
A. relative fitness because the molecular adaptations in chlorophyll pigments have passed to the next generation
B. innate variability because plants have evolved molecular differences to an environmental stimuli
C. unselective adaptation because plants have evolved molecular differences to adapt to different wavelengths of light
D. inclusive fitness because differences in chlorophyll pigments increase the proliferation of beneficial traits in the population

Research cheetahs on the internet what has contributed to this animal becoming "endangered" or "threatened." what animal you have chosen? -cheetah how long has the animal been endangered or threatened? what has contributed to this animalβs endangered or threatened status? why is it important to save this animal from extinction? after researching and gathering facts, write a 350-word letter from the point of view of an animal rights' activist. be sure to include at least five facts that you learned from your research.
