(D) ammonotelic animals​

Answer 1

Required Answer:-

Sweating in summer and shivering in winter are the adaptations of

• (A) poikilothermic animals
• (B) homeothermic animals ✓
• (C) uricotelic animals

The animals are basically divided into two groups on the basis of temperature regulation:

• Homeotherms (warm-blooded)
• Poikiotherms (cold-blooded)

There can be several types of adaptations like sweating in hot days will the body cool down. Shivering can be observed because our body can't adjust the inner temperature as compared to outer$.$

Answer 2

Answer:

Required Answer :-

• It may survive when the temperature of body within the small range.

They are divided into two parts :-

Homeotherms (warm-blooded)
