Some migratory birds are heterothermic, meaning they sometimes maintain a constant body temperature and other times allow their

body temperature to vary. For example, on cold nights, they sometimes reduce their metabolic rate and allow their body temperature to drop as the air temperature falls. Which of the following hypotheses about this unusual strategy is consistent with what you learned in this section? A. Birds allow their temperature to drop in order to increase their assimilation efficiency.
B. Birds allow their temperature drop in order to increase their production efficiency.
C. Birds allow their temperature to drds in order to increase their consumption efficiency.

The statement 'Birds allow their temperature to drop in order to increase their assimilation efficiency' is a hypothesis about this strategy (Option A).

<h3 /><h3>What is homeostasis?</h3>

Homeostasis refers to the state of internal equilibrium that organisms need to carry out their cellular metabolic functions (e.g., respiration, growth, etc).

Fitness refers to the strategies or adaptations of an organism to have a reproductive advantage, which always needs to maintain homeostatic control of physiological functions.

In conclusion, the statement 'Birds allow their temperature to drop in order to increase their assimilation efficiency' is a hypothesis about this strategy (Option A).

By using sound waves, _______ signals allow oceanographers to determine ocean depth. A. radar B. phone C. sonar D. radio
ryzh [129]
<span>The appropriate answer is c. sonar. Oceanographers use sonar to determine the ocean depth. A sonar signal is sent from the ship. Oceanographers record the time taken for the signal to leave the ship and for it to return. Knowing the speed of sound in water, they are able to calculate the depth of the water. This method is also used to generate bathymetric images of the ocean floor. </span>

In humans, random mating is most likely to occur for which of the following characteristics? Select one:B. personality C. physic
Andre45 [30]

Intelligence is most likely to be the criteria for random mating in humans.

Explanation:

If random mating is taking place on the conditions that no evolution is taking place the genetic pool will be maintained through generations.

Random mating will be based on intelligence in humans because this is the trait which gets exhibited only when showcased otherwise remains hidden while other characters like personality, appearance and athleticism are phenotypically expressed character.

Random mating is not under the influence of genotype. Intelligence is a trait which needs to be more in human as random mating takes genotype frequency in consideration.

Which statement accurately describes an aspect of human reproduction
Nitella [24]

Ans.

Human reproduction involves release of sperm (male gamete) and egg (female gamete) and their fusion to form zygote that develops into embryo. In females,  an egg is released each month as a part of a monthly cylce, called menstrual cycle. The  release of egg is termed as ovulation, in which tiny eggs are send into the fallopian tubes for fertilization.

Hence, the correct answer is 'a). an adult female usually releases an egg from an ovary each month.'
