Prairie dogs live in underground burrows to find a mate and have babies. which characteristic of life is exhibited by the prairie dog? a. reproduction b. adapting to environment . c. maintaining structure d. homeostasis

The answer is B. adapting to environment.

Prairie dogs live in prairies, temperate grasslands. The climate is moderate, as well as rainfall. But, the summers can be very warm, and winters are very cold. So, prairie dogs live in underground burrows where there are no such temperature changes during the year. In underground burrows, they also find mates and have babies, but still, this is not an example of reproduction characteristic because they live a whole life in underground burrows. So, if they would go there only to find mates, this behaviour would be the example of reproduction. Otherwise, it is an adaptation to environment and extreme environmental conditions.

The correct answer is b

A. mitochondrion b. nucleus
