Answer:
A balance of bodily fluids will prevent the development of diseases, the deterioration of body organs, and death of animals.
Explanation:
Water, blood, saliva, sweat and other body fluids should be kept constant and balanced through homeostasis because the sharp rise and fall of these fluids will prevent the organs of the body from operating optimally and this can lead to the development of diseases and consequent death. For example, water is a vital fluid. Too much of water in the system can lead to diseases like Edema where the legs begins to swell because there is no way of letting out body fluids from the body.
Too little water in the body can lead to dehydration and the increase in blood pressure because of the excessive concentration of solutes. The digestive and urinary systems have mechanisms to keep this fluid under control.

they are the closest to the human bar
Answer:
B. DR, Dr, Rd, dr
Explanation:
This question involves two genes. Alleles D and R are dominant over alleles d and r. These two genes obey the law of independent assortment as proposed by Gregor Mendel.
Based on the question, a genotype RrDd will produce the following combination of gametes following the process of meiosis:
DR, Dr, dR, dr
Answer:
Mutualism: both partners benefit. An example of mutualism is the relationship between the Egyptian plover and the crocodile. In the tropical regions of Africa, the crocodile lies with its mouth open. The plover flies into its mouth and feeds on bits of decaying meat stuck in the crocodile’s teeth. The crocodile does not eat the plover. Instead, he appreciates the dental work. The plover eats a meal and the crocodile gets his teeth cleaned. Coincidentally, the Egyptian plover is also known as the crocodile bird.
Commensalism: only one species benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed. For example, remora fish are very bony and have a dorsal fin (the fin on the back of fish) that acts like a suction cup. Remora fish use this fin to attach themselves to whales, sharks, or rays and eat the scraps their hosts leave behind. The remora fish gets a meal, while its host gets nothing. Selfish, sure, but neither gets hurt.
Parasitism: One organism (the parasite) gains, while the other (the host) suffers. The deer tick is a parasite. It attaches to a warmblooded animal and feeds on its blood. Ticks need blood at every stage of their life cycle. They also carry Lyme disease, an illness that can cause joint damage, heart complications, and kidney problems. The tick benefits from eating the animal's blood. Unfortunately, the animal suffers from the loss of blood and nutrients and may get sick.
