1. shotgun

2. inbreeding

3. cloning

4. Y chromosomes

5. The Human Genome Project sought to map a human's entire genome.

6. Inbreeding is a type of selective breeding that occurs when individuals with similar characteristics continue to be bred in an attempt to keep a certain set of traits. However, inbred organisms are genetically similar, and the probability that members of the population will receive mutated alleles leading to disorders is high.

7. Since no two humans have the same DNA, except for identical twins, forensics can take advantage of this fact by using DNA fingerprinting to solve crimes, convict wrongdoers, or overturn unjust convictions.

Why is homeostasis important to the human body?
sergiy2304 [10]
Homeostasis is a tool that your body uses to keep things in balance. Such as your body temperature. Too hot, you start to sweat. (which cools you down as it evaporates) And when you're too cold, your body starts to shiver, effectively warming you up by making your body move rapidly.

patriot [66]

The procedure of dialysis maintains the body in balance by withdrawing waste, extra water, and salt by preventing them from accumulating up in the body when the kidneys fail. It helps in maintaining a safe level of some kinds of chemicals in the blood, like sodium, potassium, and bicarbonate. It helps in monitoring blood pressure.  

Hence, dialysis helps in performing a function for the circulatory system of the body.
