The homeostasis of the human body works like a machine set at a particular standard. If the factors deviate from the standard values, the homeostatic mechanism come into action.
For example, if a cell requires certain protein, the respective genes get a signal and get activated. The cell start synthesizing the protein and when sufficient amount is made, there is a feedback loop, which allows the same protein to stop the synthesis as well. A lot of organs and cellular systems are involved in regulating the synthesis of this protein.
This is similar to the cooling system. If we set the temperature of the cooling system to certain degree, it will start cooling the room till the required temperature is reached. As soon as the temperature is acquired, the system cut-off automatically and the required temperature is maintained.
The answer is; B
Mutations change the order of nucleotide and therefore affects codons that code for proteins. A different protein is thus produced from the wild type hence creating variations. Genetic shuffling in sexual reproduction, also called gene recombination occurs during meiosis and also when different organisms exchange genetic material such as in bacteria.

QUESTION ONE
Here are the answers:
1. The purpose of zoo described in question 1 is EDUCATIONAL: it provides knowledge about animals' lives.
2. CONSERVATION: It protects the animals from becoming extinct.
3. RESEARCH: It is a source of animal specimens for research studies.
4.ENTERTAINMENT: people go to zoos to relax and to have fun.
QUESTION 2
The statement is TRUE.
