Answer:

Birds can keep themselves warn without any external heat source which is not the case with reptiles and amphibians

Explanation:

Birds are able to generate heat means they are endothermic. They generate heat through various metabolic processes.  They have air pockets beneath their feathers to insulate their bodies during cold temperatures. Feathers which are modified reptilian scales help birds to streamline their exterior body and structure feathers in a way that it insulates the body.

Determine whether the following statement is true or false: Because introns are largely genetic junk, they do not need to be rem
uysha [10]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Introns need to be removed precisely because the reading frame will be shifted if removed even single nucleotide too many or leaving an intronic nucleotide in the spliced mRNA .

Extra amino acids will be inserted if large pieces of introns are left in the mature messenger RNA.

In both cases, aberrant protien will be produced if the RNA splicing is not precise, hence they are needed to be removed by precision.

6. Why does meiosis increase genetic variation in the offspring, but mitosis does not? (1 point)
brilliants [131]
Meiosis involves crossing over where chromosomes exchange genetic segments, resulting in different sets of chromosomes. Each time an egg or sperm created, it is different due to this recombination. Mitosis on the other hand is non-sex cells replicating exact copies of themselves which lead to no genetic variation as they aren't involved in producing offspring.

select one of the main body systems and explain why it is essential to keep the whole body functioning

Circulatory system: 

--The circulatory system is also known as the cardiovascular system. 
-- It is composed of the heart, blood, blood vessels and also includes the lungs. 

The primary function of the circulatory system to distribute oxygen, nutrients, hormones and other gases to cells of the other body systems. It delivers all the necessary components needed for all the cell activities. Without the circulatory system, we would not be alive. 

It is our blood that carries these necessary nutrients, hormones, and oxygen. All these components trigger certain processes that keep other organs functioning. It also plays a role in eliminating waste by carrying them to the necessary organs that will filter them out. Without a way to dispose of waste, the body will eventually die.
