Question

Consider the following four conditions (a - d) and select the correct pair of them as adaptation to the environment in desert lizards. The conditions are:
(1) Burrowing in soil to escape high temperatures.
(2) Losing heat rapidly from the body during high temperatures.
 (3) Bask in the sun when the temperature is low.
 (4) Insulating body due to thick fatty dermis.

(a). (1), (2)
(b). (3),(4)
(c). (1), (3)
(d). (2),(4)

Answer 1

Hint: High temperatures, dry climate and sand make the desert a difficult place to live. Any creature who lives there must have certain attributes and practices that permit them to adjust to the desert climate. Reptiles achieve that through an assortment of systems that invalidate the warmth, control their internal heat level and give the way to endure.

Complete answer:
Let’s discuss the options and find out the correct answer

-Lizards can move their shading and personal conduct standards to manage their internal heat level in the desert, and have likewise developed approaches to move rapidly in the sand.
-When the lizard lies on a rock in the sun, if it needs to expand its internal heat level it turns its body towards the most grounded beams of the sun. On the off chance that it needs to chill, at that point it gets some distance from the sun.
-The desert horned lizard is a species of Phrynosomatidae lizard native to western North America. They are also referred to as "horny toads", although they are not frogs, but lizards. They tunnel in soil to escape from high temperatures. They bask in the sun when the temperature is low.
-Reptiles can move their concealing and principles of lead to control their interior warmth level in the desert, and have moreover progressed ways to deal with moving quickly in the sand.
So option (C) is correct.

Note: Lizards created variations that permitted it to make due in its current circumstance beginning with thermoregulation. Thermoregulation is important to withstand both the extraordinary warmth and the outrageous cold of the desert. With the goal for thermoregulation to work, the reptile attempts to keep itself in the shade during warmth and out of the shade during the virus.
