Answer - C
Homeostasis is defined as a state of equilibrium or balance. In a living organism, each kind of specialized cells are designed in such a way that they work independently to perform the specific functions assigned to them. At the same time, however, there is a need for harmony among the different specialized cells so as to maintain equilibrium in the body. A failure of one organ or system disrupts the homeostasis of the whole living body.

patriot [66]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d. "Many species that moved into North America from South America outcompeted the endemic taxa and still exist today".

Explanation:

The Great American Biotic Interchange (GABI) was an historical period at which numerous species from South America migrated to North America, and numerous species from North America migrated to South America because of the formation of the Isthmus of Panama. During this event, many species that moved into North America from South America outcompeted the endemic taxa and still exist today. The species that successfully immigrated to South America and exist today were mostly small mammals, such as armadillos and opossums.

do members of the same phylum share more characteristics than members of the same class?​ Explain why or why not.
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer: No, they don't.

Explanation:

In the taxonomic rank (Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species-- in that order) because phylum comes before class, it means it covers a broader spectrum of organisms. So, the traits are less specific. As you narrow it down, the members of the rank will share more and more traits in common.

Here is an example:

Humans are a member of the phylum chordata. All members of phylum chordata share the same 5 traits at some point in their lifetime. (Some only show the traits when they are embryos/larvae). These 5 characteristics share a tail, a notochord, a single, hollow nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, and an endostyle (thyroid).

So, now that we've established that humans are from phylum chordata, we can narrow it down to what class they are in. Humans are in the class mammalia, meaning they are mammals. All mammals not only share those 5 characteristics of phylum chordata, but they also share characteristics that unite them with each other. They all have hair, mammary glands in females, and are endothermic.

So, while members of the phylum chordata share at least 5 traits, members of the class mammalia share at least 8.

I hope that makes sense!
