1. Timothy's symptoms are loss of coordination and stamina, sudden increase in growth rate, painful joints, nausea, worse school performance (probably cognitive decline) and changes in personality, such as depressive mood, introversion, anxiety and tension. The organ system which could be implicated in these deficits is the thyroid gland, an important part of the human endocrine system

2. The thyroid gland is an endocrine gland located in the neck, behind Adam's apple. It produces two thyroid hormones, thyroxine and triiodothyronine, and calcitonin. The thyroid gland is a very important regulator of metabolism, protein synthesis and development. In particular, thyroid hormones regulate the body's metabolism, by controlling the way the cells produce and consume energy.

3. Hyperthyroidism is an endocrine condition in which the thyroid gland produces an excessive amount of thyroid hormones. It is the case of an overactive thyroid and its main symptom is the acceleration of the metabolism. Timothy's symptoms that could suggest hyperthyroidism are his sudden increase of growth rate and inability to gain weight, his nervousness and mood changes, and his fatigue or loss of energy.

4. Cortisol is a steroid hormone that is produced by the adrenal gland. It is considered the body's stress hormone, as it is released in response to a stressor. It is also produced in response to low blood-glucose concentration. Some of its functions are the increase of blood sugar and the suppression of the immune system and bone formation. Cortisol is also involved in the metabolism of macronutrients.

To answer this question, researchers studied populations of the dusky salamander (desmognathus ochrophaeus) living on different mountain ranges in the southern appalachian mountains. the researchers tested the reproductive isolation of pairs of salamander populations by leaving one male and one female together and later checking the females for the presence of sperm. four mating combinations were tested for each pair of populations (a and b)â€”two within the same population (female a with male a and female b with male b) and two between populations (female a with male b and female b with male a). the proportion of successful matings for each mating combination was measured. for example, when all the matings of a particular combination were successful, the researchers gave it a value of 1; when none of the matings were successful, they gave it a value of 0. then the researchers calculated an index of reproductive isolation that ranged from 0 (no isolation) to 2 (full isolation). the reproductive isolation value for two populations is the sum of the proportion of successful matings of each type within populations (aa + bb) minus the sum of the proportion of successful matings of each type between populations (ab + ba). the table provides data for the geographic distances and reproductive isolation values for 27 pairs of dusky salamander populations.

Natural selection changes allele frequencies because some survive and reproduce more successfully than others.
