Answer

  1. Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

Explanation:

Two types of adaptations are prominent in animals living in arid regions,viz. loweringofwaterloss as much as possible and adapting to arid conditions. The kangaroo rat conserves water by excreting solid urine, and can live from birth to death without even drinking water. The camels show unique adjustments to desert conditions, being very economical in water use, tolerant to wide fluctuations in body temperature and are able to maintain blood stream moisture even during extreme heat stress.
