उत्तर
- Diapause and hibernation differ in their nature and the organisms that exhibit them.
- Diapause is a stage of suspended development to cope with unfavourable conditions.
- Many species of Zooplankton and insects exhibit diapause to tide over adverse climatic conditions during their development.
- Hibernation or winter sleep is a resting stage where animals escape winter (cold) by hiding in their shelters.
- They escape the winter season by entering a state of inactivity, slowing their metabolism.
- In contrast, hibernation is a state of significantly reduced physiological activity shown by cold-blooded animals like frogs, bats, squirrels, and others.
