The correct answer is D.
In biology, adaptation refers to any structural modification or behavior that will make it easy for an organism to survive in its environment. There are three basic types of adaptation, these are functional, structural and behavioral adaptation. Functional adaptation refers to any adaptation that will make an organism to survive in its environment based on the functions of its body parts. In the question given above, flounder was able to avoid been eaten by predators because its color and shape make it possible for it to camouflage when predators are around.

Answer from: Quest

c. earths continental crust is thicker than its lithosphere.

because, the lithosphere is the outermost layer of the earth/ 100 km thick and is defined by its machanical properties.the lithosphere contains oceanic and continental crust that varies in age and thickness across locations and geologic time. the lithosphere is the coolest layer of the earth in terms of temperature. the term lithosphere should not be confused with the use of "geosphere" which is used to indicate all of earth systems, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere. the surface of the earth can be divided into the continental crust and the oceanic crust. the continental crust is made mostly of granite while the oceanic crust is made of basalt. the average thickness of the continental crust is 25 miles and the average thickness of the oceanic crust is 5 miles. three types of rock, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, make up the surface of the earth. that's why 3 option is preferable.

Answer from: Quest

the water is warmed up by the sun and then it evaporates into the atmosphere. the sunlight warms the water by its heat. water is then cooled down and condensation takes place. the water then finally returns back to the earth by the process of precipitation in the form of rain or ice.

Researchers studying a small milkweed population note that some plants produce a toxin and other plants do not. they identify the gene responsible for toxin production. the dominant allele (t) codes for an enzyme that makes the toxin, and the recessive allele (t) codes for a nonfunctional enzyme that cannot produce the toxin. heterozygotes produce an intermediate amount of toxin. the genotypes of all individuals in the population are determined (see chart) and used to determine the actual allele frequencies in the population.is this population in hardy-weinberg equilibrium? a) yes.b) no; there are more homozygotes than expected.c) no; there are more heterozygotes than expected.d) more information is needed to answer this question.
