Homeostasis can be defined as the state of maintenance of the constant internal conditions by the living organisms. The homeostasis is maintained by the body so that it may function properly. The homeostasis will be disturbed by the reduced intake of the food and water. Healthy intake of water and food is essential in maintaining the homeostasis of the body. The elevated or depressed blood pH along with extreme body temperatures will also disturb the homeostasis of the body making the person sick. Moreover, certain infectious organisms also alters the homeostasis of the body.
Hence, all the options are correct.

Answer:
a) 28 cases
b) 3 cases
Explanation:
a) From the table of genetic codes, there are 28 codons that specify more than one amino acid assuming only the first two nucleotides are considered. In these cases, one cannot outrightly specify the amino acid the genetic codes are coding for without knowing the last nucleotide of the codes. <em>For example, UU can be for Phenylalanine or Leucine, CA can be for Histidine or Glutamine, etc. </em>
b) From the table of genetic codes, the first two nucleotides of Arginine can be either of CG or AG, that of Serine can be either of UC or AG while that Leucine can be either of CU or UU. Only in these <u>3 cases</u> would one fail to know which are the first two nucleotides assuming the name of the amino acids are given.

Answer:
B Binary fission maintains genetic continuity because the daughter cells contain the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Explanation:
Genetic continuity ensures that genetic information is passed from one generation to another in correct way so that the resultant progeny has the complete set of genes required for survival. For example, at the end of mitosis, daughter cells should have the same number of chromosomes as parent cell.
Binary fission is a method of reproduction in some organisms like bacteria. It is an asexual mode of reproduction in which the parent cell splits into daughter cells without the process of fusion with another cell. It still maintains genetic continuity because the daughter cells are identical to the parent cell and thus have same number of chromosomes and type of genes.
