In a population of birds some individuals are born with thicker, stronger beaks than others. This is a trait that is inherited.

The thick beak birds are able to eat an indigenous nut that has a thick shell. The thin beak birds are not able to eat this nut. Over time the birds with the thick beak take advantage of this niche, because there is less competition for food. Eventually the thick beak birds become a different species than the thin beak birds. What is true of these two species? A) Both species will continue to occupy the same exact niche. B) The two species can have viable offspring together. C) The two species cannot have viable offspring together. Eliminate D) The two species will be one species again in the future.

Why is it so important for animals to keep the concentration of their body fluids constant​
Maurinko [17]

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.
