Summary Introduction

To determine:

The difference between the ectotherm and the endotherm, with suitable examples.

Introduction:

The organism living in the various environmental conditions has to maintain the body temperature according to the nature of the environment. The organisms exchange the heat with their surroundings through convections or radiations.

Summary Introduction

To explain:

The term homeostasis and the reason of negative feedback are pivotal in attaining achieving homeostasis.

Introduction:

Homeostasis is performed by kidney to maintain the concentration of water and ions in the body. Homeostasis is also known as the osmoregulation.\

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The reason of rare occurrence of positive feedback in living organisms.

Introduction:

Feedbacks are required to start or terminate the chemical reaction or the physical functions of the body. The feedback mechanisms are of two types: negative feedback and positive feedback. The negative type of feedback is most commonly found in the living organisms.

The Snapdragon is a popular garden flower that comes in a variety of colours, including red, yellow, and orange. The genotypes and associated phenotypes for some of these flowers are as follows: aabb: yellow AABB, AABb, AaBb, and AaBB: red AAbb and Aabb: orange aaBB: yellow aaBb: ? Based on this information, what would the phenotype of a Snapdragon with the genotype aaBb be and why?   Question 21 options:   orange because A is epistatic to B   yellow because A is epistatic to B   red because B is epistatic to A   orange because B is epistatic to A   red because A is epistatic to B   yellow because B is epistatic to A
