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.
<span>Many species of sponges and the Hydra perform external budding. Cells will quickly divide within them and develop on the surface of the organism. These cells will form branches or extensions of the parent as they develop into a new organism.

Answer:
The cell membrane holds the cell's internal contents from its environment.
The cell membrane is comprised of two layers of fat.
The cytoplasm is a liquid in which the various organelles of the cell are suspended.
The cytoplasm keeps organelles in place. It also allows different materials to flow from one organelle to another.
The nucleus of a cell contains genetic material. DNA, RNA and mitochondria replicate in the nucleus. The nucleus also produces and replicates proteins, and sends the proteins to other parts of the cell.

Homozygous.
You can tell in future that if both letters are either lowercase or upper case (e.g. TT or tt) the answer is always HOMOzygous. If the letters are different cases (e.g. Tt or tT) the answer is always HETROzygous. This is because 'homo' means 'same' and 'hetero' means 'different'.
