D.

<u>Water passing into an animal cell causing it to swell</u> is NOT an example of the maintenance of homeostasis in an organism.

To make this homeostatic, the cell has to regulate the water by eliminating excess water probably via vacuoles. This way, the cell would not swell.

Explanation:

Homeostasis means the maintenance of steady conditions in the body for the proper functioning of tissues. Homeostasis is governed by positive and negative feedback mechanisms that act in antagonisms in a steady balance to maintain the right parameters. An example is the way glucagon and insulin hormones work antagonistically to maintain the right blood sugar levels at all times even after satiation and in starvation.

2. Describe the problem that McClintock suggested Harriet Creighton solve.
harina [27]

Answer:

'Cross experiments done by Morgan, illustrating the X-inheritance link of a mutation Thomas Hunt Morgan moved intensely in a program of breeding and crossing miles of fruit flies at New York University in a room that was renamed the Fourth of the Flies. He tried to mutate the flies with various means (X-rays, centrifuges, etc.) .The fruit fly which has 4 pairs of chromosomes. One of those pairs was identified as containing X and Y sex chromosomes. He applied Mendelian principles in flies. Morgan's inheritance study demonstrated inheritance linked to sex, and is one of the first evidences that confirm the chromosomal theory of cross-based inheritance. In 1909, Morgan detected a fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) with a strange mutation which he called "white eyes", due to the coloration of his eyes (contrary to normal, which is red). Analyzing this fly under the microscope Morgan discovered that it was a male, and could use it as a stallion so that he could observe how the new characteristic of white eyes would pass from generation to generation.All the offspring of this cross will have red eyes, which He made Morgan suspect that something strange had happened, since the color of the father's eyes could not have disappeared. He decided to take a couple of "daughters flies" and cross them together, just to see what happened. Morgan's surprise was very great, observing that among the "granddaughters" flies only males had white eyes. The problem then was to explain what had happened during the hereditary transmission for the color of the white eyes only the males possessed. .
