Laws of Physics and Chemistry influencePhysiological processes.
Physiological processes are regulated.
The phenotype is a product of the genotype
and the environment.
A genotype is the product of evolution,
acting through natural selection and other
evolutionary processes.

Phenotype:Morphologyappearanceincludes physiology and behavior.
Phenotypic plasticity: is the ability of aphenotype to change in response to
environmental conditions.
Adaptation:Changes in population overevolutionary time as a result of natural
selection that improve the survivability orreproductive fitness of the species.

Phenotypic Plasticity
The same genotype may result in multiplephenotypes.

Homeostasis
Maintenance of a constant internal
environment despite changes in
external environment.
Not an equilibrium. Equilibrium = death!

Homeostasis of the body is a composite of the
specialized functioning of individual cells, tissues,
organs and organ systems.

Acclimatization
Adjustment in physiological function/s inresponse to changes in the environment
(multiple factors).
- Typically reversible.
- Example: Recovering from jetlag.
Acclimation
A laboratory phenomenonAdjustment in
response to only one factor.
