Answer:

c) Invests little energy in temperature regulation

Explanation:

Ectothermic animals are the organisms which are dependent on the external sources of heat in order to regulate their internal body temperature. In these organisms the mechanism for the regulation of heat through internal physiological process is absent. Due to such feature they don't need to spend energy to maintain the body heat in cool environment and thus they can operate at a very economical metabolic rate. And thus they became enable to survive for longer even in the condition of food deprivation.

Explain how an unbalanced translocation occurs and how it affects humans
Serga [27]
Translocations may be balanced when there is an even exchange of material with no genetic information extra or missing, and ideally full functionality. Or can be unbalanced where the exchange of chromosome material is unequal resulting in extra or missing genes. For example a child who has an unbalanced translocation may have learning disabilities, developmental delay and health problems. The seriousness of the disability depends on exactly which parts of which chromosomes are involved and how much missing or extra chromosome material present.
