Answer:

Homeostasis

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the maintenance of a steady-state/condition in the body to ensure the optimal workings of the cells. Blood sugar level is one of the variables in the body that also has to be maintained through  positive and negative feedback loops to maintain the desired level. Insulin is the hormone used for negative feedback (to reduce the blood sugar level when it goes higher than the normal level) and Glucagon is the hormone for positive feedback (to raise the blood sugar level when it goes below the normal levels).

You enroll your preschool-age daughter in ballet class. At first, all of the children in the class are clumsy, and their movemen
Ainat [17]

The physiological basis for having your daughter continue is through the way she moves in which up until now, she hasn’t been moving smoothly like other child but rather than awkward. Through this, the mother would likely think that she should let her daughter drop out from that class because she doesn’t seem to have any improvement and if she were to have an improvement with her movements, then the mother would likely let her daughter to continue.

Which natural selection condition example can be classified as over production of offspring?
Tatiana [17]
Natural selection is the process by which individuals with characteristics that are advantageous for reproduction in a specific environment leave more offspring in the next generation, thereby increasing the proportion of their genes in the population gene pool over time. Natural selection is the principal mechanism of evolutionary change, and is the most important idea in all biology. Natural selection, the unifying concept of life, was first proposed by Charles Darwin, and represents his single greatest contribution to science.

Natural selection occurs in any reproducing population faced with a changing or variable environment. The environment includes not only physical factors such as climate or terrain, but also living factors such as predators, prey, and other members of a population.

Mechanism of Natural Selection

The mechanism of natural selection depends on several phenomena:

• Heredity: Offspring inherit their traits from their parents, in the form of genes.

• Heritable individual variation: Members of a population have slight differences among them, whether in height, eyesight acuity, beak shape, rate of egg production, or other traits that may affect survival and reproduction. If a trait has a genetic basis, it can be passed on to offspring.

• Overproduction of offspring: In any given generation, populations tend to create more progeny than can survive to reproductive age.

• Competition for resources: Because of excess population, individuals must compete for food, nesting sites, mates, or other resources that affect their ability to successfully reproduce.

Given all these factors, natural selection unavoidably occurs. Those members of a population that reproduce the most will, by definition, leave more offspring for the next generation. These offspring inherit their parents' traits, and are therefore also likely to succeed in competition for resources (assuming the environment continues to pose the same challenges as those faced by parents). Over several generations, the proportion of offspring in a population that are descended from the successful ancestor



Uloborid spider eggs and spiderlings. In any given generation, populations tend to create more offspring than can survive to reproductive age.

increases, and traits that made the ancestor successful therefore also increase in frequency. Natural selection leads to adaptation, in which an organism's traits conform to the environment's conditions for existence.

pishuonlain [190]
The enzyme that would be most important for digesting a skinless chicken breast would be a PEPTIDASE. 
A skinless chicken breast is a proteinous food and peptidases are enzymes which break down proteins by hydrolysis of the peptide bonds which joined the amino acids of proteins together.
