Ans: maintain homeostasis
Homeostasis is any
self-regulating process by which biological systems tend to maintain stability
while adjusting to conditions that are optimal for survival. It is the stable
state of an organism and of its internal environment. Maintenance of
homeostasis usually involves negative feedback loops. These loops act to oppose
the stimulus, or cue, that triggers them. The stable condition is the condition
of optimal functioning for the organism, and is dependent on many variables,
such as body temperature and fluid balance, being kept within certain pre-set
limits.
The answer would be (b) evolutionary species concept.
the temperature of mercury is not regulated and the atmosphere easily floats away while being replaced with solar wind .
Mercury has a thin atmosphere.
Characteristics of Living Organisms: Ability to reproduce independently, ability to grow
Characteristics of Viruses: Not made of cells, have a protein coat instead of a membrane.
Characteristics of Both: Can have a DNA genome, may mutate and evolve
Hope this helps!
DNA in prokaryotes are not bounded by Nuclear Memberane !! It is scattered all over cytoplasm !!
