Answer:
Homeostasis is the ability for the body to maintain the internal and external conditions in a certain range that allows the body to continue to be healthy. For example, if the weather is cold, homeostasis will occur that would make you shiver, which is the body's way of trying to warm itself up. If it is too hot, homeostasis would be active in releasing sweat, which is water that is used to remove excessive heat from inside the body.

Answer:
Stop the transfusion and administer normal saline.
Explanation:
The client is most likely experiencing Haemolytic Transfusion reaction. This reaction occurs when the receivers immune system destroys the red blood cells of the incoming blood. A common symptom is the feeling of impending doom.
The best line of action is to stop the transfusion immediately and administer normal saline.
This is an example of CONDOMINANCY.
Condominancy is said to occur when two different alleles are combined together to form a different allele, in which the alleles are expressed equally and none of them is dominant. In the example given above, the black rat population mated with the white rat population to produce offspring that are grey in colour. Thus, the white and the black colour of the parents are not dominant, but are equally expressed to give gray colour.
Answer:
1. During DNA replication, an open section of DNA, in which a DNA polymerase can replicate DNA, is called a replication fork.
2. After replication is complete, the new DNAs, called daughter DNAs, are identical to each other.
3. The enzyme that can replicate DNA is called DNA polymerase.
4. Okazaki fragmentsare the short sections of DNA that are synthesized on the lagging strand of the replicating DNA.
5. The new DNA strand that grows continuously in the 5' to 3' direction is called the leading strand.
Explanation:
DNA replication is a process that occurs during the interphase (S phase) of the cell cycle and in which DNA is replicated. DNA replication is semiconservative which means that each strand in the double helix (leading strand and lagging strand) acts as a template for synthesis of a new, complementary strand that will become daughter DNA.
DNA polymerase is the main enzyme of the DNA synthesis: it requires primer (short sequence of DNA) for the initiation and it performs its function only in one direction 5'-3'. Other enzymes involved in DNA replication are DNA primase, DNA helicase, DNA ligase, and topoisomerase.
Answer:
According to Darwin's theory of evolution, new species evolved as a result of natural selection.
Explanation:
- Darwin proposed that speciation could readily occur through the prolonged action of Natural selection.
- Natural selection allows the 'survival of the fittest' i.e. a more fit organism will have a better chance of survival than the less fit one.
- The result of Natural selection could be positive,negative or balancing.
- Evolutionary process in which the genetic changes confer a higher fitness to increase frequency of the organism over time in population is called positive selection.
- Evolutionary process in which genetic changes decreases the organism's fitness resulting in its disappearance from the population is called Negative selection.
- It may happen that a mutation benefits hetero-zygotes but not homo-zygotes and alleles maintain a intermediate frequency in population.This evolutionary process is called balancing selection.
