Answer:

The correct answer will be-reproduction.

Biologist tried to distinguish the living organisms from non-living beings and suggest eight characteristic features of life: cellular, metabolism, heredity material reproduction, homeostasis, sensitivity, growth and development.

The characteristic which is not essential for the individual organism is a reproduction as it produces offspring to maintain the continuity of species, not individual.

Mechanical stress applied to bone __________ osteoblast activity in bone tissue, and the removal of mechanical stress __________
iren2701 [21]

Mechanical stress applied to bone increases osteoblast activity in bone tissue, and the removal of mechanical stress decreases osteoblast activity.

Explanation:

Osteoblasts are cells , that are produced in the bone marrow and are responsible for formation of bones and bone matrix.

Whenever a mechanical stress is applied on the bones , a series of reactions are triggered. As a result the activities of osteoblast increases to synthesize more and more bone matrix to provide strength.

Again on the other hand a decrease in mechanical causes a decrease in the activities of the osteoblasts.
