Providing long-term control over the body's internal conditions
Keeping conditions within a normal range
Adjusting the "set point" for body temperature based upon level of activity
Meiosis in reproductive organs (testes and ovary) produce gametes. Each human cell including reproductive cells contains 23 pair of chromosomes. Meiosis separates the two chromosomes from each pair thus, each gamete receives only one copy of each chromosome. Therefore, each gamete has 23 new chromosomes, one from each of the 23 pairs. During meiosis, exchange of chromosome segment between copies of a pair of chromosomes. The exchange of chromosome segments creates new combinations of genes which enhances genetic variability within a species.
A type of strong chemical bond in which two atoms share one or more pairs of valence electrons. Two or more atoms held together by covalent bonds. The attraction that exists between opposing (positive and negative) charges within the atom.
Answer:
The wrong statement is C. <em>Individuals with Type Il survivorship exhibit high survivorship throughout
</em>
their life cycle.
Explanation:
Different species have survival curves differently shaped. In general terms, there are three different survival curves.
- Type I. Organisms do not tend to die when they are young or middle-aged, but they do when they are old. These species, in general, have a few descendants and parents provide much parental care to ensure their progeny survival. Typical of K selected species.
- Type II. Organisms that have more or less the same probabilities of dying in each age interval. These organisms can also have a few descendants and they can provide significant parental care.
- Type III. Only a few individuals survive their first period of life or their firsts years. However, the lucky ones to reach a certain age generally have a long life. These organisms have a lot of descendants at the same time, but they do not provide much parental care. Typical of r selected species.
