Question

which statement best represents how an organism maintains homeostasis?
○ female barn swallows mate with long - tailed males.
○ offspring inherit traits from their parents.
○ desert pack rats are active at night to conserve water.
○ young eagles have different kinds of feathers than adult hawks.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the ability of an organism to maintain a stable internal environment. Desert pack - rats being active at night to conserve water is an adaptation that helps them maintain a stable internal water - balance in a dry environment. The other options are related to mating, inheritance, and differences between species, not homeostasis.

Answer:

Desert pack rats are active at night to conserve water.
