Natural selection ensures that animals with features that increase their chances of survival are more likely to live and pass those traits on to their progeny.

Animals adapt to their surroundings over a lengthy period of time, which causes those changes. The evolution of adaptations happens across many generations.

<h3>What is an adaptation?</h3>
  • A physical or behavioral characteristic of an animal that enhances its ability to survive in its environment is known as an adaptation.
  • To put it another way, an adaptation is something a species does or has on them that makes it easier for them to locate food, water, mates, and shelter.
  • Among the adaptations that helped animals live and prosper on land are:
  1. Gas exchange using a moist membrane
  2. The ability to traverse land (limbs instead of fins)
  3. The capability of body water conservation
  4. The capability of reproduction and early habitability
  5. The capacity to endure fast environmental changes
<h3>What are the types of adaptation?</h3>

Depending on the environment, there are three basic types of adaptations: behavioral, structural, and physiological.

  • Physiological- When an animal's body's internal mechanisms adapt to its surroundings.
  • Structural - Over the course of millions of years of evolution, the animal's bodily features alter.
  • Behavioral - Animals adjust their behavior in reaction to their environment.

What genes control the growth of cell growth? What is the purpose of this regulation? What happened when the cell growth is not regulated?

Above are the questions which an observe would ask about regulation of cell growth. A number of genes such as oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes are involved in the regulation of cell growth and cell division. Regulation of cell growth process ensures that a cell's DNA which is dividing is copied properly as well as repair errors in the DNA. It also ensures that each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes in order to gain healthy daughter cells.

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is  a. absent spinal reflexes below the level of injury.

Explanation:

Spinal shock strictly refers to the neurological condition that occurs immediately after a spinal cord injury, in which the loss of not only motor and sensory functions occurs, but also the abolition of all reflexes below the injury (reflexes of muscular or myotatic stretching and cutaneous reflexes). There is also flaccidity, loss of reflexes. It is characterized by hypotension associated with cervical or upper thoracic spinal injuries. This characteristic shock results from the lesion of the descending sympathetic pathway in the spinal cord, producing a loss of vasomotor tone and sympathetic innervation of the heart. This causes vasodilation of the affected area with accumulation of blood and a decrease in venous return to the heart as well as cardiac output.
