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. [br] 【B9】
