HACTEHA [7]2 years ago

Marriages or any form of sexual relations between blood relatives is incest and is completely prohibited in the United States and most other countries of the world.

There are two reasons for this:

1. Religious: Most major world religions prohibit marriages between blood relatives. In countries where church and other religious institutions had a strong following, incest remains a crime.

2. Biological: Medical Science has proven that off-springs of close relatives e.g. brother-sister, first cousins and even second cousins have a high chance of genetic mutation which can lead to various health issues. This is the main reason why modern societies prohibit incest

31. The data in the accompanying graph show evidence of disease in the human body. D 38 - - E Body Temperature (°C) 377 А IDOT B
shepuryov [24]

Homeostasis keeps the organism in a dynamic equilibrium within the homeostatic range. <em>A </em><em>disruption i</em><em>n </em><em>dynamic equilibrium </em><em>is indicated by the </em><em>temperature </em><em>change between point C and D.</em> Option C is correct.

<h3>What is homeostasis?</h3>

Homeostasis is the organism's capacity to keep the body in constant internal equilibrium, even when the external environment is oscillating.

Homeostasis is critical to keep the correct internal functioning of the body.

Different functions -blood pressure, body temperature, respiratory rate, and blood glucose levels, among others- are kept in a<u><em> </em></u><u><em>restricted range</em></u><u><em> </em></u>around a reference point, even though external conditions may be changing.

When a sudden change occurs in the internal functioning that disturbs this equilibrium, the organism counters it back by negative or positive feedback.

<h3>Graph interpretation</h3>

In the exposed graph we can see,

  • The restricted range of homeostasis at a constant temperature around 37ºC.

  • Six reference points (A-F) withing 12 hours.

  • Dynamic equilibrium is kept in the range of homeostasis around 37ºC, excepting for point D that reaches 38ºC.  

The references point A, B, and C suggest that during the first 10 hours, approximately, the body was in equilibrium.

A change in the internal functioning broke the equilibrium, rising temperature to 38ºC, out of the homeostatic range.

The organism took the internal values to their original state, and at points E and F, the organism was in equilibrium again.
