What impact does freezing have on some thawed wood frogs?It increases their reproductive success.It decreases their life span.It causes them to be more vocal and active.It reduces their ability to recognize potential mates.34. What does the professor imply when she says this:She wants the student to clarify his question.She wants the student to draw his own conclusions.She thinks the student does not understand how car antifreeze worksShe thinks the student has misunderstood her pointTPO 20 Lecture 412.

The professor explains that the snowshoe hare’s food supply is available yearround. What does the availability of food allow the snowshoe hare to do?Store body fat for the cold monthsRemain lightweight through the winterGive birth during the winterGrow fur quickly during the first year after birth17. Why does the student say this:He wants to support the professor’s point with an example.He is grateful the professor has answered his question.The professor’s explanation contradicts his own experience.The professor may not believe he is telling the truth.TPO 21 Lecture 36.
