Answer:

Most of its components are anatomically connected, like most other systems of the body.

Explanation:

The endocrine system takes care of the bodily processes that take place slowly. The nervous system and the endocrine system are independent systems, although they usually work together to help the body function properly.

The endocrine system is made up of glands that make hormones.

The main glands that make up the human endocrine system are the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, adrenal glands, pineal gland, and reproductive glands, including the ovaries and testes. The pancreas is also part of this system and they are distributed throughout the body, connecting only through the circulatory system.

Why would natural selection not occur without genetic variations in species?
Mumz [18]

If you do not have variations to be selected by natural or sexual selection on their superior abilities to survive and reproduce successfully then nothing can be naturally selected against the immediate environment.

Name and describe each star phase.
Inessa [10]
(A nebula)
is a cloud of gas (hydrogen) and dust in space. Nebulae are the birthplace biths. There are different types of nebula. An Emission Nebubla such as Orion nebula, glows brightly because the gas in it is energised by the stars that have already formed within it. 

(A star)
is a luminous globe of gas producing its own heat and light by nuclear reactions (nuclear fusion). They are born from nebulae and consist mostly of hydrogen and helium gas. 

(red giant)
This is a large bright star with a cool surface. It is formed during the later stages of the evolution of a star like the Sun, as it runs
out of hydrogen fuel at its centre.

(red dwarf)
These are very cool, faint and small stars, approximately one tenth the mass and diameter of the Sun. They burn very slowly and have estimated lifetimes of 100 billion years. 

(white dwarf)
This is very small, hot star, the last stage in the life cycle of a star like the Sun. White dwarfs have a mass similar to that of the Sun, but only 1% of the Sun's diameter; approximately the diameter of the Earth. 

(Black holes)
are believed to form from massive stars at the end of their life times. The gravitational pull in a black hole is so great that nothing can escape from it, not even light. The density of matter in a black hole cannot be measured.

Approximately _____ elements occur naturally on earth.
FromTheMoon [43]
<span>Of the 118 elements that have been discovered, 90 of them indisputably occur in nature. There is disagreement over whether four more or eight more occur naturally as a result of radioactive decay of other natural elements. The answer is, therefore, 94 or 98.</span>
