Which one among the following statements is incorrect?

(a) Siberian crane is a migratory bird

(b) Archaebacteria flourishes in hot springs where the temperature exceeds >95°C

(c) Desert lizard has the ability to keep the constant body temperature

(d) Fishes can thrive in Antarctic water where the temperature is always below zero

I got this question in an online interview.

My enquiry is from Organisms and Populations topic in chapter Organisms and Populations of Biology – Class 12

Answer 1

Correct answer is (c) Desert lizard has the ability to keep the constant body temperature

To elaborate: Among the above-given sentences, the desert lizard has the ability to keep a constant body temperature is an incorrect statement. This is so because lizards are ectotherms, cold-blooded whose temperature changes as per the temperature of surroundings.
