Specimen 1 has the ability to change over the course of deep time. the change is genetic and permanent. Specimen 1 lacks a stable course of homeostasis, it can absorb thermal energy but it can not take control over it. Is the specimen alive or not Why?
No, because although it can evolve but it completely lacks any other characteristics of life, for example it states that it cannot maintain homeostasis, and lacks a metabolism

What is the ability to maintain intenal temperatures

In order for a specimen to be considered alive it needs to follow most of the characteristics of life. True or false
True because the specimen can have all of the characteristics of life but it can be also be considered alive if it holds or can maintain the characteristics of life.
