An organism is able to maintain homeostasis by exchanging molecules with its environment. describe ways in which this exchange of molecules an organism maintain homeostasis.

This is a coral reef ecosystem. many biotic and abiotic factors affect the health of this ecosystem. which set correctly pairs a biotic factor and an abiotic factor?

The tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is facing extinction due to devil facial tumor disease (dftd) which causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. dftd has evolved into a contagious cancer, a trait that is unique among cancers. devil mating behavior involves biting around the head and neck, allowing cells from one individual — especially cells from the crumbly dftd tumors — to be transferred to the wounds or face of a new individual. this marsupial was once found across australia, but sea levels rose, isolating the tasmanian population, while the australian population went extinct. what would be an outcome of genetic isolation that is likely to have impacted the spread of dftd? a) reduced territory puts diseased individuals in greater contact with non-diseased ones. b) inbreeding results in less variation in facial features so the cancer is generally fatal. c) genetic isolation has made it difficult for scientists to develop a vaccine against dftd. d) the lack of genetic variation in the immune system of tasmanian devils minimizes resistance to the disease.

Use this new information to determine the parents’ genotypes (indicated by red arrows). then calculate the probabilities that the second male offspring will have each condition. drag one pink label to each pink target and one blue label to each blue target. then use the white labels to answer questions 1 and 2. labels can be used once, more than once, or not at all.
