The Tundra

Question 12 • 26-27 - C - RUSD Environmental Science S1

What adaptations of the wild yak enable it to survive in the alpine biome?

Answer
A
waterproof undercoat; slow metabolism; migrate during winter; horns to dig for food
B
slow metabolism; narrow hooves; hibernate during winter; waterproof undercoat
C
dense, wooly coats; horns to dig for food; specially adapted feet; migrate during winter
D
dense, wooly coats; hibernate during winter; specially adapted feet; broad, flat snouts

Explanation

Wild yaks endure the alpine biome’s cold with dense, woolly coats, and their specially adapted feet help them move across rugged terrain. They can also use their horns to uncover food and migrate to find grazing areas. Choice C lists these adaptations; yaks do not hibernate during winter, so choices B and D are incorrect.
