Homeostasis is the regulation of metabolic processes within an organism in order to maintain the stable internal conditions required for life. the human respiratory system includes the nose, the larynx, and the lungs. this body system maintain homeostasis by a. enabling gas exchange in the body. b. regulating hormone levels in the body. c. transporting oxygen to other organ systems. d. removing solid waste from the body.

Dominant over the mutant vermilion (bright red) allele. a homozygous wild-type female fly is mated with a vermilion male fly. predict the eye colors of f1 and f2 generations. (assume that the f1 flies are allowed to interbreed to produce the f2 generation.)

Over the past 60 years, many amphibian species have experienced significant population declines and some species have become extinct. scientists suspected that local human activities such as the destruction of wetlands, regional pollution, and deforestation were the main reasons for these losses. however, research over the past 20 years reveals significant amphibian population declines in protected areas of the world, such as nature preserves and parks. these global declines suggest widespread problems including increased ultraviolet radiation, acid rain, and disease. in switzerland, for example, 14 of the 20 native amphibian species are threatened with extinction. chytridiomycosis is a fungal disease first identified in 1998 as a cause of massive amphibian deaths. in some severely impacted populations, a few individuals have survived, perhaps because of some natural resistance. if these resistant individuals continue to survive and prosper, new resistant populations might emerge. this would be an example of the founder effect artificial selection genetic drift natural selection sexual selection
