Answer:

The answer is: false alarm

Explanation:

The "Signal Detection Theory" is <u>one of the theories used when it comes to psychology (particularly, perception and sensation</u>). When a person faces a <em>situation (stimulus or signal)</em> that he thinks is confusing, he can make a decision out of it.

If signals are present, this allows the person to decide whether it is present or absent. So, the outcome are hits or misses. When a signal is not present, the person still can decide whether it is present or absent. So, the outcome are "false alarms"<em> (if he decides its present) </em>or "correct rejection" <em>(if he decides its absent).</em>

In the situation above, Peter hasn't been to India. Thus, he doesn't know how it is to live in India nor the weather and culture in the country. So, in this situation, the signal is not present. However, Peter decides that the signal is present <em>(according to his perception)</em> and thus, he continued to go to India. However, he was disappointed with his decision. This kind of outcome is called "false alarm."

Thus, this explains the answer.

A population that is isolated in a remote environment is still able to experience genetic variation How could genetic variation
goblinko [34]

A mistake in DNA replication before meiosis produces an organism that is better able to outrun predators.

Explanation:

The genetic variation results from the different alleles of a population. The mutation or mistake in DNA replication would cause gene variants which may be beneficial. The variation in the DNA sequence of genome results in variants in small population.

Genetic variation is the cause of natural selection and eventually, evolution takes place with beneficial traits.

It is mentioned in the question that resulting offspring having received the mutant allele could result in better surviving capabilities or phenotypic traits as they are able to outrun predators.

Physiologically, the effects of anorexia are similar to the effects of starvation: basal metabolic rates _____, and blood levels
boyakko [2]
The answer to this question would be: decrease, decrease

Anorexia is a mental disease that causes the patient to experience fear of gaining weight. In this case, the patient will try to limit their food intake(in an extreme way) or induce vomit to remove the food. 
The effect should be same as starvation or malnutrition. As the food intake decreased, blood glucose is decreased too. The body adapts by lowering the basal metabolic rate so it loses less energy. Insulin and leptin will be decreased too as it was not needed.

Harman [31]
We should remember that we should consume all necessary nutrients at a correct amount and proportion. this includes the primary food substance carbohydrates, fat and protein. and protective food substance in a small amount, which includes mineral ions ( iron, calcium etc) and vitamins. Also we have to take in enough water (6-8 cups a day) and fibre to prevent deficient diseases and to maintain health.
in addition, note that the amount of food intake varies with age, sex, body status, daily activity etc. For example, teenagers and pregnant women should increase all necessary nutrients intake to ensure proper growth and development of ourselves or the baby.
