An organism is d. a group of organ systems working together.

An atom goes into a molecule which goes into a cell which goes into a tissue which goes into an organ which goes into an organ system which goes into an organism. 

Organs working together with other organs create a system of organs or an organ system. Something like this helps keep a human body, for example, functioning since everything relies on each other. 

Remember that if your respiratory (breathing) system and nervous (brain) system did not work together, you would not be alive, and therefore no longer a living organism.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]
An hypothesis is a possible explanation for a set of observations or answer to a scientific question. A supposition or proposed explanation made on the   
basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further  
 investigation. 
 And practically, an hypothesis is used as the basis for further experiments, where the hypothesis is rigorously tested under varying conditions. The hypothesis that is tested and modified under different conditions may become a general 
 theory
 .The hypothesis that has the least number of variables sufficient to explain the phenomenon is preferred.

Genetic variation makes individuals within a species different. Fertilization results in each offspring having a copy of each ge
murzikaleks [220]

Genetics is a branch of biology concerned with the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in living organisms.[1][2][3]

The discoverer of genetics is Gregor Mendel, a late 19th-century scientist and Augustinian friar. Mendel studied "trait inheritance", patterns in the way traits are handed down from parents to offspring. He observed that organisms (pea plants) inherit traits by way of discrete "units of inheritance". This term, still used today, is a somewhat ambiguous definition of what is referred to as a gene.

Trait inheritance and molecular inheritance mechanisms of genes are still primary principles of genetics in the 21st century, but modern genetics has expanded beyond inheritance to studying the function and behavior of genes. Gene structure and function, variation, and distribution are studied within the context of the cell, the organism (e.g. dominance), and within the context of a population. Genetics has given rise to a number of subfields, including epigenetics and population genetics. Organisms studied within the broad field span the domains of life (archaea, bacteria, and eukarya).

Genetic processes work in combination with an organism's environment and experiences to influence development and behavior, often referred to as nature versus nurture. The intracellular or extracellular environment of a cell or organism may switch gene transcription on or off. A classic example is two seeds of genetically identical corn, one placed in a temperate climate and one in an arid climate. While the average height of the two corn stalks may be genetically determined to be equal, the one in the arid climate only grows to half the height of the one in the temperate climate due to lack of water and nutrients in its environment.

I’ll mark brainliest <br> how do organisms with many cell types develop from a single cell
Rashid [163]

Answer:

A multicellular organism develops from a single cell (the zygote) into a collection of many different cell types, organized into tissues and organs.During development, cells use both intrinsic, or inherited, information and extrinsic signals from neighbors to "decide on" their behavior and identity.

Dafna11 [192]

When the body becomes dehydrated, a chemical signal is sent that causes nephrons in the kidneys to absorb more water and excrete more salts. This is an example of a <em>D Feedback loop</em>.
