PRINCIPLES OF ANIMAL PHYSIOLOGY 16TH
EDITION UPDATED ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS
◉ What do animal physiologists study?
Answer: The structure and function of the various parts of an
animal, and how these parts work together to allow animals to
perform their normal behaviours and to respond to their
environments
◉ Each species has acquired countless unique properties through:
Answer: Evolution
◉ Animal physiologists are interested in both the _____ and _____ of
this great diversity
Answer: Causes, consequences
◉ Physiology is a central discipline in biology linking:
Answer: The underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms to
characteristics of whole organisms such as performance and fitness
◉ The physiological properties of an animal are aspects of an
animal's:
,Answer: Phenotype
◉ The phenotype includes:
Answer: All of the observable traits of an organism at all levels of
biological organization, from the biochemistry of the cell to the
anatomy, physiology, and behaviour of the animal
◉ Physiological traits, like other characteristics of animals, are
determined in large part by:
Answer: Genes of the genome-the genotype-but are also influenced
by the way the genes are regulated, particularly in response to
external conditions
◉ Both the genotype or an organism and its environment interact
through development to produce the _____ of the adult organism
Answer: Phenotype
◉ The phenotype is itself the product of:
Answer: Processes at many levels of biological organization,
including the biochemical, cellular, tissue, organ, and organ system
levels
◉ An individual genotype can have the capacity to produce more
than one:
,Answer: Phenotype
◉ Although the same genes are found in each cell, they are:
Answer: Regulated in combinations to allow animals to develop
distinct tissues
◉ Genotype controls the way:
Answer: Animals can alter their phenotype in response to
physiological and environmental conditions
◉ The phenotype (morphology, physiology, behaviour) of an animal
influences:
Answer: Its reproductive success
◉ Differential survival of organisms with distinct phenotypes may
result in:
Answer: Evolutionary change in the genotype of a population over
many generations
◉ What is the ultimate cause of the enormous diversity of animal
species?
Answer: Evolutionary change
, ◉ What are the 3 key components of the phenotype of an organism?
Answer: 1. Morphology
2. Physiology
3. Behaviour
◉ Phenotypes are the result of:
Answer: Interactions between the genotype and the environment
acting on processes at all levels of biological organization
◉ Variation in morphology, physiology, and behaviour can influence:
Answer: Performance and reproductive success
◉ Despite the great diversity of organisms on Earth, there are:
Answer: Many commonalities within physiology-unifying themes
that apply to all physiological processes
◉ What are the 4 unifying themes in animal physiology?
Answer: 1. Physiology is integrative
2. Physiological processes obey the laws of physics and chemistry
