One of my passions is keeping up with creationist (and I include Intelligent Design here) attempts to  change what science is.    They wish to supplant the reason and evidence that is the basis for good science with faith instead – specifically their faith. 

Sometimes, actually often, it can become discouraging looking at how many battles must be fought to ensure our schools continue to teach good science; listening to all the politicians expressing their ignorance of science by expressing doubts about evolution; and seeing all the letters and forum responses from those who let their religion totally blind their ability to reason and fairly judge evidence. 

For example, consider these quotes from various prominent politicians:

“There are clear indications from our people who have amazing intellectual capability that this didn’t happen by accident and a creator put this in place,”

“Now, what was his time frame and how did he create the earth that we know? I’m not going to tell you that I’ve got the answers to that,” Perry said. “I believe that we were created by this all-powerful supreme being and how we got to today versus what we look like thousands of years ago, I think there’s enough holes in the theory of evolution to, you know, say there are some holes in that theory.”  Governor and Presidential candidate Rick Perry

Plasticity is most adaptive when the environment changes __________ throughout an organism's life.
Alexxandr [17]

Plasticity is most adaptive when the environment change <u>Slowly and predictably </u>throughout an organism's life.

The ability of individual genotypes to create various phenotypes when exposed to various environmental situations is known as phenotypic plasticity. Here, the emphasis is on the role of plasticity in evolution rather than the evolution of plasticity itself, i.e., the evolution of phenotypic traits and organismal variety through plasticity. Phenotypic plasticity is a crucial characteristic of developmental systems that enables the organism to deal with environmental variability and/or unpredictability, although its significance for adaptive evolution is still debated.

What are three ways body systems work together to maintain homeostasis?
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Each organ system performs specific functions for the body, and each organ system is typically studied independently. However, the organ systems also work together to help the body maintain homeostasis.

For example, the cardiovascular, urinary, and lymphatic systems all help the body control water balance. The cardiovascular and lymphatic systems transport fluids throughout the body and help sense both solute and water levels and regulate pressure. If the water level gets too high, the urinary system produces more dilute urine (urine with a higher water content) to help eliminate the excess water. If the water level gets too low, more concentrated urine is produced so that water is conserved. The digestive system also plays a role with variable water absorption. Water can be lost through the integumentary and respiratory systems, but that loss is not directly involved in maintaining body fluids and is usually associated with other homeostatic mechanisms.

Similarly, the cardiovascular, integumentary, respiratory, and muscular systems work together to help the body maintain a stable internal temperature. If body temperature rises, blood vessels in the skin dilate, allowing more blood to flow near the skin’s surface. This allows heat to dissipate through the skin and into the surrounding air. The skin may also produce sweat if the body gets too hot; when the sweat evaporates, it helps to cool the body. Rapid breathing can also help the body eliminate excess heat. Together, these responses to increased body temperature explain why you sweat, pant, and become red in the face when you exercise hard. (Heavy breathing during exercise is also one way the body gets more oxygen to your muscles, and gets rid of the extra carbon dioxide produced by the muscles.)

6. Why does meiosis increase genetic variation in the offspring, but mitosis does not? (1 point)
brilliants [131]
Meiosis involves crossing over where chromosomes exchange genetic segments, resulting in different sets of chromosomes. Each time an egg or sperm created, it is different due to this recombination. Mitosis on the other hand is non-sex cells replicating exact copies of themselves which lead to no genetic variation as they aren't involved in producing offspring.
