The biological clocks seem to be beautifully【B2】______ the needs of living things. They are affected but little, if at all, by drugs, chemicals, or wide temperature difference—【B3】______ which may alter substantially the rates of all ordinary processes of the body.

According to the first of these theories, each individual contains its own independent timing system. This is believed to have【B6】______, aided by natural selection, as an adaptation to the rhythmic environment. It has now become independent of the environment. The other theory holds that living things react【B7】______ to their rhythmic physical environment. The setting of their biological clocks, therefore, 【B8】______ a constant adjustment to subtle environment forces. But the search for the【B9】______ timing system has been futile thus far. Not only has no independent timing system ever been discovered, but there has not yet been even a guess【B10】______ its nature.
