The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

In humans, the maintenance of a stable internal temperature is a direct result of___________.

a. detection of and reaction to stimuli in the  environment

b. digestion of starches and absorption of  protein from the internal environment

c. diffusion of water and excretion of glucose to  the external environment

d. transport of ATP and locomotion through  the environment

Answer:

a. detection of and reaction to stimuli in the  environment

Explanation:

Thermoreceptors present in skin layers of the human body sense the deviation of the body temperature from the normal range. As the body temperature rises above normal, the thermoreceptors send signals to the brain which n turn signals dermal blood vessels to dilate and sweat glands to secrete sweat. The heat from the body surface is lost to the surroundings to drop the body temperature towards the normal range.  

On the other hand, when the body temperature goes below the normal range, thermoreceptors send signals to the brain which in turn signals dermal blood vessels to constrict to conserve the body heat. If body temperature continues to drop, muscles are signaled to contract involuntarily to generate body heat to raise the body temperature towards the normal range.

The number of amino acids that will be in the polypeptide chain produced by the normal DNA or MRNA sequence is usually 30 amino acids. Although the number of amino acids depends on the function of the generated DNA or RNA. The types of amino acids also differ depending on the function.

<u>Answer</u>:

1. C. Process one describes cloning and process two describe artificial selection

Through cloning a genetically identical individual is obtained from a single individual. Through artificial selection a hybrid between two individuals with desirable traits is obtained.

2. C. Polygenic

A trait that has a continuous variation has a polygenic inheritance pattern as it is controlled by multiple genes.

3. C. The BW mice would have black and white patches

Codominant genes will produce an individual with an intermediate phenotype as both alleles are simultaneously expressed in the heterozygote.

4. D. Polygenic

Polygenic inheritance occurs when two or more genes determine a trait that has a continuous variation. Each gene has a small effect, but all together have a cumulative effect. Examples of such patterns are height, sking color, eye color, weight etc.
