Answer:

homeostasis

Explanation:

Living beings maintain the constant environment of the body. It is called homeostasis. Homeostasis is the maintenance of a relatively stable internal environment of the body. It is the result of all of the body’s regulatory processes.

For example, the blood glucose level is normally maintained between 70 and 110 milligrams of glucose per 100 ml of the blood. A rise of blood glucose level is counteracted by increased secretion of the hormone insulin from the pancreatic cells. Therefore, cells and higher levels such as organs and organ systems, contribute to maintaining homeostasis.

Which would least likely be a cause of natural selection?
AnnZ [28]
Evolution would least likely be a cause of natural selection.
Natural selection has to do with the survival of the fittest. Therefore, adaptation, variation, and overpopulation all have an impact on natural selection - those who do not adapt to their new surroundings due to overpopulation or those whose bodies have not modified enough will not survive.

Explain mutations and how they can cause genetic disease
nadya68 [22]
Answer:

A mutation is a change in a DNA sequence. Mutations can result from DNA copying mistakes made during cell division, exposure to ionizing radiation, exposure to chemicals
called mutagens, or infection by viruses. Germ line mutations occur in the eggs and sperm and can be passed on to offspring, while somatic mutations occur in body cells and are not passed on.

Mutation has been the source of many Hollywood movies, but it's really a simple process of a mistake made in a DNA sequence as it's being copied. Some of that's just the background noise that DNA copying is not perfect, and we should be glad of that or evolution couldn't operate. But mutation can also be induced by things like radiation or carcinogens in a way that can increase the risk of cancers or birth defects. But it's pretty simple; it's basically an induced misspelling of the DNA sequence.
That's a mutation.


When a variant alters a protein that plays a critical role in the body, it can disrupt normal development or cause a health condition. A condition caused by variants in one or more genes is called a genetic disorder. In some cases, gene variants are so severe that they prevent an embryo from surviving until birth.
