This video explores the distinction between innate and learned behaviors in animals. Innate behaviors are inborn and instinctive, while learned behaviors develop through experiences and observations, allowing animals to adapt to their environment and enhance their chances of survival.
Balancing Act: How Negative Feedback Loops Maintain Harmony
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Discover the concept of negative feedback loops in biological systems, where balance is maintained by counteracting changes. Explore the four key components: Stimulus, Sensor, Control Center, and Effector, through examples like blood sugar regulation. Uncover how these loops play a crucial role in keeping our body systems in harmony.
Understanding Mouse Coat Colors Through Dihybrid Cross Predictions
