Answer: Phenotype
Explanation:
The phenotype is the set of physical characteristics of an individual, that make it different from other individuals and are evident to the eye.
While the genes inherited from the parents determine the genotype of the individual, that's not enough to fully determine how it will look when it develops, as the ambient where it will grow takes a great part of it. Those factors are called epigenetics.
How an individual will look, its phenotype, is a result of its genes and the epigenetic factors.
The right option is a.colostomy
A colostomy is a surgical
procedure in which an opening is made between the colon and body surface. During
colostomy, an opening is made by bringing one end of the large intestine or
colon out through the abdominal wall using incision. Colostomy is performed
when the large intestine is blocked or damaged and when a ruptured colon causes
an abdominal infection. The procedure may be short-term or permanent.
Of the given possible statements, the one that best supports that a newly discovered species is that the animal's body temperature increased when the ambient temperature increased. An exothermic animal relies on eternal temperatures to keep warm and so a rise in ambient temperatures would cause a rise in internal temperatures of the animal. Therefore, the answer is a.
