To answer this we need to analyze each statement
camouflage, mimicry, and stingers: This is meant to escape predation and fend off predators, so this is the correct answer.
hibernation and migration: This is meant for breeding and or food energy storage, to pass hard seasons so is also incorrect.
courtship and breeding behaviors: This is meant for reproduction and to ensure offspring so this is incorrect.
nesting and food gathering: this is a behavior for survival, resource use rather than defense, si this is not correct.
<span>The organism will produce 12 chromosomes (A).
Sex cells are the products of meiosis. Daughter cells of meiosis contain half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell. So if the parent cell has 24 chromosomes, then the sex cell would have <em>12 chromosomes</em>.</span>
Answer:
Carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and phosphorus are all involved in creating genetic material.
Explanation:
The presence of a fever is usually related to stimulation of the body's immune response. Fever can support the immune system's attempt to gain advantage over infectious agents, such as viruses and bacteria, and it makes the body less favorable as a host for replicating viruses and bacteria, which are temperature sensitive. Infectious agents are not the only causes of fever, however. Amphetamine abuse and alcohol withdrawal can both elicit high temperatures, for example. And environmental fevers--such as those associated with heat stroke and related illnesses--can also occur.
The hypothalamus, which sits at the base of the brain, acts as the body's thermostat. It is triggered by floating biochemical substances called pyrogens, which flow from sites where the immune system has identified potential trouble to the hypothalamus via the bloodstream. Some pyrogens are produced by body tissue; many pathogens also produce pyrogens. When the hypothalamus detects them, it tells the body to generate and retain more heat, thus producing a fever. Children typically get higher and quicker fevers, reflecting the effects of the pyrogens upon an inexperienced immune system.
