Answer:

Homeostasis.

Explanation:

Homeostasis my be defined as the mechanism of maintaining the proper life processes of the body. Almost all the living organisms has the tendency to perform homeostasis.

The main function of the homeostasis is to maintain the balance of the internal life in accordance with the change in the external and internal environment. The optimal level of the body is maintained by the process of the homeostasis.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).

I believe the correct answer is the first option. The term that would describe the tendency to maintain a balance or optimal level is called homeostasis. This common in biological systems. If this is not achieved most likely death of a cell would happen.

The answer is Parathyroid Hormone (PTH). Steroids reduce calcium levels in the blood. This results in activation of the parathyroid hormone that is essential in the metabolism of calcium in the blood. PTH induces reabsorption of calcium from bones to restore homeostasis Ca2+ levels in the blood hence causing osteoporosis. Osteoporosis causes an increased risk of bone fractures.

Immediately after dna replication a dna repair mechanism scans the dna for incorrect base pairs. upon which feature of the dna m
TEA [102]

The answer is proofreading feature of DNA polymerase.  As the DNA polymerase III replicates DNA, it has a proofreading mechanism in one of the subunits of the holoenzyme. This subunit detects a bad conformation in the double helix when the wrong base pair is placed. In this case, the DNA polymerase III backs up a bit and waits for the exonuclease to nick out the misplaced base.

In a study of black guinea pigs and white guinea pigs, 100 black animals were crossed with 100 white animals and each cross was
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

The genotype of parents for 6 exceptional cross was

Bb * bb

Result for crossing the black and white guinea pigs from the 6 exceptional cases.

Bb * bb

Bb, Bb, bb, bb

Explanation:

Here trait for black guinea is dominant over the trait for white guinea

There is a possibility that for remaining 6 crosses, the genotype of parents would be as follows

Black guinea pig - Bb

White guinea pig - bb

Now when these two genotypes are crossed the following offsprings are produced

Bb * bb

Bb, Bb, bb, bb

Thus, out of four offspring half of them are heterozygous black and remaining half of them are white in color.

Now if these black and white guinea pigs from the 6 exceptional cases with genotype Bb and bb are crossed respectively, then following offspring are produced

Bb * bb

Bb, Bb, bb, bb

what's the process in body cells that directly requires oxygen and identify the structure in red blood that transports oxygen to
Elis [28]

Your body cells use oxygen you breath to get energy from the foods you eat. The process is called "Cellular Respiration." This process or function consists of the cell using oxygen to break down sugars in the body. When the cell uses the oxygen to break down sugars, carbon-dioxide is produced and energy is released, thus producing the energy your body needs.


"Hemoglobin" is a protein with Red Blood cells (also referred to as RBC's) that are responsible for the transport of oxygen. The Cardiovascular System consists of the heart and vessels and may also be referred to as the vascular system or the circulatory system. The heart functions as a muscular pump that pushes blood through the vessels to all areas of the body and the vessels function to carry it back to the heart as well. Hence the name "circulatory."
