Question

which statement best illustrates how an organism maintains homeostasis?
young hawks have different kinds - of feathers than adult hawks
lionesses teach their cubs how to hunt for food
peahens mate with peacocks with longer brighter tails
dogs pant to maintain their body temperature in hot weather

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the ability of an organism to maintain a stable internal environment. Panting helps dogs release heat and keep their body - temperature stable in hot weather, which is an example of maintaining homeostasis. The other options are about development (young hawks' feathers), behavior learning (lionesses teaching cubs to hunt), and sexual selection (peafowl mating).

Answer:

D. Dogs pant to maintain their body temperature in hot weather
