Answer:

D - vasodilation

Vasodilation is the widening of the blood vessels, it results from relaxation of smooth muscle cell within the vessel walls. It's not an example of negative feedback mechanism

Explanation:

What is homeostasis

It's a tendency of an organism or a cell to regulate it's internal environment and also maintain equilibrium using a system of feedback controls.

There are two types of feedback mechanism

We have both positive and negative feedback mechanism

The negative feedback mechanisms in living things regulate critical body processes.

Examples are : body sweating, body shivering, regulstion in sugar level.

a single stranded dna (oligonucleotides) can hybridize with (select one): select one: a. complementary dna b. complementary rna
garri49 [273]

A single stranded DNA  (oligonucleotides) can hybridize with (d) both complementary DNA and complementary RNA.

DNA is the Deoxyribonucleic Acid. It is the genetic material present in majority of organisms. The nitrogenous bases present in DNA are: Adenine, thymine, Guanine and Cytosine.  DNA is a double stranded structure hence it forms hydrogen bonds with a complementary strand. The complementary strand can be of a DNA or RNA.

RNA is the Ribonucleic Acid. It also is a genetic material present in very few organisms. RNA is less stable than the DNA and may be either single stranded or double stranded. The nitrogenous bases of RNA are: Adenine Uracil, Guanine and Cytosine.
