Fish are not warm-blooded and are usually too small to support the substantial fat layers that insulate whales and seals in very cold temperatures. So how do fish survive in sub-zero waters? Some species have proteins in their blood that prevent them from freezing to death-an evolutionary trait made no less remarkable by the fact that biologists have known about it for some time. These antifreeze proteins attach themselves to small crystals of ice and prevent the crystals from growing to a size at which they would be dangerous. O Ruestion ccording to the passage, which of the following statements about seals is true?0 They do not live in the same waters as whales. They cannot survive in very cold temperatures. - They have antifreeze proteins in their blood. O They have layers of fat to help keep them warm.
