The thyroid sits low on the front of the neck. Your Thyroid lies below your Adam's apple, along the front of the windpipe. Thyroid hormones control metabolism, growth, body temperature, muscle strength, appetite, and the health of your heart, brain, kidneys, and reproductive system.

The thyroid’s main role in the endocrine system is to regulate your metabolism, which is your body’s ability to break down food and convert it to energy. Food essentially fuels our bodies, and our bodies each “burn” that fuel at different rates. This is why you often hear about some people having “fast” metabolism and others having “slow” metabolism.

You are maintaining a small population of fruit flies in the laboratory by transferring a small number of the flies to a new cul

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Cross the flies with the flies from another population

Explanation:

Inbreeding is the mating between the closely related individuals of a population. Inbreeding reduces the viability of the progeny over a generation since it increases homozygosity. When the flies of a small population interbred over generations, the increased homozygosity reduces the viability of the flies. To counteract it, one should mate these flies with the flies from another population. This would increase heterozygosity and thereby would increase the survival and fitness of the progeny.
