<em>Answer: </em><em>homeostasis</em>

<em>Explanation: </em><em>Homeostasis is the ability of a system to maintain a balance in its internal environment. At the level of an organism, it is the set of parameters that must remain constant or adapt to the needs, such as blood pressure or heart rate, body temperature, blood glucose.</em>

<em />

<em>The concept of homeostasis was mentioned for the first time in 1866 by French physician and physiologist Claude Bernard. Today, the concept has been extended to other systems than purely organic ones, and can also be applied to an ecosystem</em><em>.</em>

Answer:

Diffusion

Explanation:

Diffusion is the process through which molecules in the cell are kept in balance with those outside the cell.

Diffusion is the process by which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

Through the above mechanism, molecules having higher concentration in the cell move out of the cell and vice versa thereby maintaining the balance of molecules in and outside the cell.

The information in the table shows the possible genotypes resulting from the mating of two heterozygotes aadd. the allele a code

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Admitting that the "a" is a capital A for normal pigmentation and "d" is a capital D for dimpled chin, meaning that these are the dominant traits, the fraction expected to be albino with a non-dimpled chin is of 1/16.
When two heterozygous are crossed and two characteristics are being analysed, the offspring quantity that will possess the two recessive traits can be represented by 1/16. This is easily confirmed when a Punnett square is made. Considering that both parents were heterozygous, on both sides of the crossing in the Punnett square, you would have the following alleles' combination: AD, Ad, aD, and ad. The offspring that would be homozygous recessive (aadd) would correspond to only 1/16.

What is the atom of the element boron?

Agata [3.3K]

The atomic number is 5. The atomic number gives the number of protons. Protons which have a positive charge are balanced by an equal number of electrons in a neutral atom. Boron number 5 has five protons and therefore as a neutral atom also has five electrons. Boron atomic number 5 has five electrons in its ground state. Commonly Boron will lose 3 electrons leaving 2 electrons in its most common ionic form.

Which kind of force do you exert on an object when you pull it toward you?

Neporo4naja [7]

The answer is A. Applied forces are the unbalanced forces a person applies to another object to change its velocity or direction or to make it accelerate. When we pull an object towards us, we are increasing it’s velocity, so it’s an applied force.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Gene therapy to correct defective genes that cause diseases.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Gene therapy refers to the procedure that involves the introduction of nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) into the cells of an organism for the purpose of correcting abnormalities, such as a mutations or in other words to treat a genetic disease.
Gene therapy entails bringing a normal and functional gene known as a trans-gene into a cell with altered gene. Another method can bring RNA capable of partially regulating or blocking the expression of an altered gene.
The nucleic acids are introduced into the patient's cells by means of a viral vector or injected directly into the cells in the form of naked DNA.
