B) all levels of organization within an organism are interdependent.
Explanation;

The levels of organization are dependent on each other, for example, the organ systems rely on each other for many different things and cannot function without the other. e.g. The nervous and endocrine systems control the activities of the digestive, excretory, circulatory and respiratory systems. Organ systems need to work together to maintain homeostasis in the body.
1. shotgun
2. inbreeding
3. cloning
4. Y chromosomes
5. The Human Genome Project sought to map a human's entire genome.
6. Inbreeding is a type of selective breeding that occurs when individuals with similar characteristics continue to be bred in an attempt to keep a certain set of traits. However, inbred organisms are genetically similar, and the probability that members of the population will receive mutated alleles leading to disorders is high.
7. Since no two humans have the same DNA, except for identical twins, forensics can take advantage of this fact by using DNA fingerprinting to solve crimes, convict wrongdoers, or overturn unjust convictions.
