Temperature-sensitive mutations in a kinesin ii required for intraflagellar transport (ift) have been identified in chlamydomonas. such mutations only lead to defects when the temperature is raised above a certain threshold, called the restrictive temperature. when algae with fully formed flagella are grown at the restrictive temperature, their flagella degenerate. what can you conclude about the necessity of ift from this experiment?

c. is the correct answer

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.
