Dr. Alan Hicks entered a cave and noted thousands of dying and dead bats. Surprisingly, they all had white fungal growth on their noses (white-nose syndrome or WNS). This same phenomenon was observed in many caves. This repeated observation of an occurrence in the natural world is called a(n) . Dr. Hicks contacted other scientists, and together they set out to determine what was causing the white noses on the bats, for they suspected that it was leading to the bat deaths. This potential explanation is termed a(n) . Several different types of experiments were set up to test the idea that the fungus was leading to death in the bats. Eventually, it was determined that contact with Pseudogymnoascus destructans does lead to sickness and death in bats. The repeated testing of this idea, along with other scientific knowledge, allowed the scientists to develop the that Pseudogymnoascus destructans causes WNS, which leads to the eventual death of the bats.

explanation:

plz give me the characteristics.

it's unlikely a majority of a large population would agree on issues

hope this : )

the correct answer is: b. pantala flavescens, because these organisms would have a high level of genetic variation due to sexual reproduction.  

because involves two organisms (parents) whose genetic material combines, sexual reproduction leads to genetic variation in new generations of offspring. the offspring is an unique organism, with new genome, more protected with the higher ability to adapted. this process is fundamental to evolution.

homeostasis is the tendency towards a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes. and this is how it applies to the integumentary system. back to top. skin functions in homeostasis include protection, regulation of body temperature, sensory reception, water balance, synthesis of vitamins and hormones, and absorption of materials. when body temperature falls, the sweat glands constrict and sweat production decreases.
