<h2>Homeostasis </h2>

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the tendency to resist change in order to maintain a stable, relatively constant internal environment

The body maintains homeostasis for many factors in addition to temperature, for example, the concentration of various ions in the blood is kept steady along with pH and the concentration of glucose, if these values get too high or low, one can end up getting very sick

The stomach maintains a pH that's different from that of surrounding organs, and each individual cell maintains ion concentrations different from those of the surrounding fluid

Maintaining homeostasis at each level is key to maintain the body's overall function

The allele for dwarfism - D its dominant
Recessive allele -d
If the person has heterozygous alleles -Dd the person will have achrondroplastic dwarfism
However if the person if homozygous for the allele DD it’s Lethal and person can’t survive
If both parents are Dd

Offspring DD Dd Dd dd
Probability of children who survive with the trait have the genotype Dd
Probability - 1/4 + 1/4
Probability of having surviving children with the trait -1/2 -0.5

Scientists often use fruit flies as a method to test hypotheses about human genes. Why are fruit flies advantageous in the study

Semmy [17]

Fruit flies share 75% of the genes that cause diseases with humans, so scientists can learn about human genetics by studying fruit fly genetics.

2. If the pH of water is altered by sulfur oxide, nitrogen oxide, or carbon dioxide, what effect can this have on our atmospheri

sertanlavr [38]

Answer: Sulfur oxide,carbon dioxide and Nitrogen Oxide are acid anhydride.

Explanation: they are refer to as acid anhydride, because when they dissolved in water,they make the water acidic by reducing the Ph of the water.These gases are greenhouse gases that are released into the atmosphere by human activities like combustion, burning of bushes etc,.when they are released into the atmosphere and have contact with atmospheric water, it leads to acidic rain.

If a closed container contains a mouse as well as enough food, water, and oxygen for the mouse to live for three weeks, how much

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

The life process may be defined as the different process that are important for the sustenance of life. The most important life process are nutrition, respiration, excretion and transportation.

If the mouse is placed in the closed sealed container then the weight will remain before and after the experiment of 1 or 2 week. This is because the life process metabolic reactions will use and conserve all the atoms involved in the life process. These atoms can exist in the liquid, solid and gas forms but present inside the container.

Which statement about sexual and asexual reproduction is true? *

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

The answer is A. There is more genetic variation in organisms that reproduce sexually than those that reproduce asexually.

Explanation:

This is because offspring with two parents can get genetics from both family's which means there is a chance for many different types of characteristics.

If an offspring only has one parent however, the offspring will only get those genetics from the parent which means there are not many possibilities for offspring to look or act different then their parent.

Hope this helps! Have a good day! or don't...it's up to you- <3
