Homeostasis may be studied directly by: identifying the genome of a given population of humans. observing differences in such measures as body temperature across human groups. experimentally manipulating or replicating environmental conditions and observing human responses. observing living populations as they engage in various activities in various settings.

The tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is facing extinction due to devil facial tumor disease (dftd) which causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. dftd has evolved into a contagious cancer, a trait that is unique among cancers. devil mating behavior involves biting around the head and neck, allowing cells from one individual — especially cells from the crumbly dftd tumors — to be transferred to the wounds or face of a new individual. this marsupial was once found across australia, but sea levels rose, isolating the tasmanian population, while the australian population went extinct. what would be an outcome of genetic isolation that is likely to have impacted the spread of dftd? a) reduced territory puts diseased individuals in greater contact with non-diseased ones. b) inbreeding results in less variation in facial features so the cancer is generally fatal. c) genetic isolation has made it difficult for scientists to develop a vaccine against dftd. d) the lack of genetic variation in the immune system of tasmanian devils minimizes resistance to the disease.

You are working in the lab and are working with the same element but with varying isotopes of the element. you are working with c-11, c-13, c-14, and c-15. what is the average atomic mass of this element? (use periodic table) a- 12 b-15 c-14 d-13
