Solution
Adaptation to low temperature and freezing in animals occurs due to the production of anti-freeze proteins.
Explanation:
Some freeze-avoiding animals produce antifreeze substances that lower the freezing point of body fluids and protect cells. Chaperonins help protect proteins from heat damage, while proline is associated with plant responses to water stress.
