Answer:
fixed action pattern, key stimulus; key stimulus, fixed action pattern
Explanation:
- An innate behavior which specific to a species and is highly stereotyped is termed as a fixed action pattern.
- This behavior occurs due to a neuronal network that is hard-wired in the species and the response is said to be generated following a key stimulus.
- A key stimulus is the one that generates a fixed action pattern and this is also called a releaser.
- A key stimulus can be in the form of shape, sound, color, or a combination of these.
- In this case, the red spot is a stimulus for the chicks which causes them to peck at their parent's bill, and hence, the red spot is a key stimulus, and pecking of the chicks is a fixed action pattern.
- The parents regurgitate the food only when the chicks peck at their bills, so pecking is a key stimulus for the parents which causes them to regurgitate the food which is a fixed action pattern.
Science is a investigation process
<u>Answer:</u>
Integrator compares sensory information to a target value.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- Integrator is responsible for sending 'instructions to an effector' based on 'sensory information' which eventually give responses.
- These effectors execute the necessary changes required to adjust with the environment. Integrator act as the control centers.
- Integrators send signals to the effectors after comparing the variables or changes at a definite set point.
- However, its function mechanism is 'dependent on the feedback loop'.
