This control of the internal environment is called homeostasis, and can be observed through the ____________ range of the body's
Semenov [28]

Answer: "homeostatic (dynamic equilibrium) range"

Homeostasis can be observed through the "homeostatic range (pre-set limits)" of the body's pH, temperature and blood glucose.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the control of internal environment , physical and chemical conditions maintained by the living systems. A body takes control of its internal environment in spite of external forces interruptions. It can be defined as the body's defensive mechanisms.

Homeostasis is maintained and controlled by the nervous system.

Homeostasis is for optimal functioning of the internal environment such as body pH, body temperature, fluid balance, chemical ions balance (calcium, sodium and potassium) and blood glucose.

Body temperature is normally about 37.5° C (98.6° F).

Salt concentration in body fluids is normally about 0.9%

Blood glucose is normally about 10 mg/ml.

A disturbed (imbalanced body as a result of external forces) body regains its haemostasis balance by

Activating reflexes that fight the disturbance and maintaining behaviours to counteract the disturbance.

Provide explanations of genotypes and phenotypes.
Korvikt [17]
The phenotype is the physical appearance of an organism, while the Genotype is the genetic composition of an organism. Phenotype is observable and are the expression of the genes of an individual. So even the organism with the same species may differ, with a minute difference in their genotype. This is the main difference between the two.

We can notice one’s hair colour, eye colour, height, weight, skin colour, etc. but cannot look at genes responsible for these characters, so the observable physical look is the phenotype while the unnoticed genes responsible for such characters present in the DNA of cell of the individual is genotype.

To explain the above lines, here is the simple example of a pure red colour flowering plant (RR) is crossed with the white colour flowering plant (rr). The result of the Genotype of the F1 generation will be – Rr (Hybrid red colour), and the Phenotype of the F1 generation will be the – Red colour flowering plant.

Genotype and phenotype are the two very closely related and similar-sounding words, but their meaning is different. Our earth has a dynamic variety of organisms, present in soil, water and on land. But as the genome of each organism is different, and so there phenotypes also whether it’s their colour, height, weight or other morphological features.

A researcher is studying a population with a unique age structure. An age-structured histogram he has developed over the course
Rasek [7]

Answer:

The population first grows, stabilizes, and then declines.

Explanation:

A researcher is studying a population with a unique age structure. An age structured histogram he has developed over the course of several decades has undergone transformations in shape, from a pyramid shape to a roughly rectangular shape to an inverted pyramid shape (where the base is narrower than the top). The population first grows, stabilizes, and then declines.

Over the last several decades, the scientific community has gathered a large amount of information regarding genetics and geneti
Alenkinab [10]
<span>The two main sources that lead to increased genetic variation are:

</span>1. Gamete mutations
2. Recombination.

Gamete mutations:
Gametic mutations are the mutations that occur in germline cells (sperm and egg). Due to this, the mutations are able to be passed on from one generation to another. One of the most famous gametic mutations<span> is hemophilia.
</span>
Recombination:
Genetic recombination is the production of offspring with combinations of traits that differ from those found in either parent.

A student used the hemoglobin data to conclude that mice and shrews are more closely related than are mice and humans or shrews
Lilit [14]
<span>The student who use the hemoglobin data to conclude that mice and shrews are more closely related than mice and humans or shrew and human is quite correct. Scientists had found a way of determining the evolution histroy of animals by means of the amino acid sequence of their hemoglobin. The higher the number of related amino acids found the closer the relationship between the two organisms. There are a difference of 29 amino acid between man and mouse and a difference of 24 amino acids between human and shrew but only a difference of 5 amino acid between mouse and shrew. This shows that mouse and shrew are closer.</span>
