Answer:

Homeostasis

Explanation:

Homeostasis is a mechanism of the body which involves negative feedback loops that helps the body to maintain a stable internal environment when there is an external or internal change.

An example of homeostasis in the human body is the regulation of the internal temperature of the body. When there is a change in the normal body temperature, for example, if your temperature drops sharply below 37 degrees Celsius, homeostasis kicks off in the body to maintain the normal body temperature. Homeostasis uses thermoregulation mechanism which triggers shivering to raise the body temperature in an attempt to return it back to normal.

Homeostasis also makes it possible for the body to maintain the balance of water and other substances in the body like calcium in our body. For example, when the calcium level drops below normal level, the parathyroid gland secretes hormone which helps in the increasing of blood calcium levels.  

Homeostasis s a essential mechanism that helps keeps the body in a balance and functional state.

Individuals producing an abnormal form of the extracellular matrix protein, fibrillin, is a result of ______.
erastova [34]

Answer:

Indivisuals with producing an abnormal form of extracellular protein fibrillin are suffering from Marfan syndrome ehich is caused by genetic mutation in the FBN1 gene.

Explanation:

Gene mutations in FBN1 gene results in the production of an abnormal extracellular matrix fibrillin-1 protein that cannot function properly. These gene mutations basically reduce the amount of fibrillin-1 produced by the cell, alter the structure of fibrillin-1, or causes the impairment of the transport of fibrillin-1 out of the cell.

As a result, protein is poorly incorporated into extracellular matrix. Hence, indivisuals with Marfan syndrome present following symptoms

Tall stature.

Disproportionately long arms, legs and fingers.

Sternum either protrudes outward or dips inward.

Arched palate and crowded teeth.

Heart murmurs.

Extreme nearsightedness.

An example of natural selection is the tail of a male peacock. The females of the species choose mates based on the colors of th
Lera25 [3.4K]
Since the means of reproduction have changed, the population of peacocks would probably start losing their pretty feather colors due to the fact that over time females would be mating with the containing the other trait (and possibly not the pretty feathers). This would then produce offspring with ugly colors but also with the desired trait. This would continue on and on until those with the desired trait outnumbered or possibly extinguished the now unnecessary vibrant feather colors.
