Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sexual behavior is an example of positive feedback, as it leads to the release of hormones (such as oxytocin) that increase the desire for more sexual behavior. The other options are incorrect - negative feedback is more commonly observed in biological systems, positive feedback typically does not have a limit and can cause exponential growth, it enhances a response rather than diminishing it, and a thermostat regulating a furnace is an example of negative feedback.
