Answer:

B. Maintenance of homeostasis by negative feedback

Explanation:

A negative feedback loop is one where the body responds by changing the expected outcome.

So as the runner's body temperature increases, they perspire, which LOWERS their body temperature.  This means that perspiring is a response that changes the original response, as their body temperature decreases rather than continuing to increase from exertion.

Answer:

Sympathetic nervous system

Explanation:

The sympathetic nervous system of the autonomic division prepares the body for stress or emergency conditions by generating the “fight-or-flight” responses. The sympathetic nervous system triggers the release of stress hormones from the adrenal medulla to generate the set of physiological responses.

There is dilation of the pupil, and an increased rate of heartbeat and increased blood pressure. Other responses include dilation of airways and dilation of blood vessels that supply blood to skeletal muscles, heart muscles, liver, etc. Under the given emergency condition, the sympathetic nervous system of Meghan was activated to generate the fight or flight response.

Mosses, ferns, and lichens are bryophytes. They are non-vascular and non-flowering plant and have a thallus-like body. They reproduce by production f spores, inside the sporangia, and connceted to a base called as sporangiophore, which attaches it to the thallus.

Match each definition to the appropriate term. locus
liraira [26]
I) Locus- the chromosomal site where a specific gene is located. A locus is a fixed position on a chromosome, like the position of a gene or a marker. Each chromosome carries ,many genes; human's estimated haploid (n) protein coding genes are about 20,000, on the 23 different chromosomes.


ii) Interference; the observed double crossover frequency differs from the expected double crossover frequency. Cross over interference is used to refer to the non-random placement of crossovers with respect to each other during meiosis. It results in widely spaced crossovers along chromosomes. Interference may exert its effect across whole chromosomes. As chromosomes in many eukaryotes are large, interference must be able to act over megabase lengths of DNA. 

iii) Linkage- the tendency for genes located in close proximity on the same chromosome to be inherited together. Normally when two genes are close together on the same chromosome, they do not assort independently and are said to be linked. Whereas genes located on different chromosomes assort independently and have a recombination frequency of 50%, linked genes have a recombination frequency that is less than 50%.

iv) Recombination- the process by which a new pattern of alleles on a chromosome is generated. Genetic recombination is the production of offspring with combinations f traits that differ from those found in either parent. During meiosis in eukaryotes, genetic recombination involves the pairing of homologous chromosomes. This may be followed by information transfer between the chromosomes.

rodikova [14]

Answer:

See the explanation below, what is the question you intend to ask anyway?

Explanation:

  • Meiosis transmit traits from one generation to the next. It the  key process that brings genetic variation into the traits that offspring inherit from their parents.  In the life cycle of an organism, meiosis is paired with the process of fertilization.
  • Meiosis produces two daughter nuclei with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell as each other.The chromosomes are re-grouped during meiosis to form new combinations of genes. Genetic reunion is very important as a source of genetic variation.
