CNS is brain and spinal cord. PNS are the sensory and motor neurons. The PNS breaks down further into the autonomic and the sensory-somatic nervous system. The autonomic breaks down further into the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. It is very complex but to answer your question when you touch a hot stove sensory neurons (PNS) send a message to the brain (CNS) and the brain process that the hand is being injured and reacts by sending motor neurons (PNS) to tell the hand to pull away.

A parent that is heterozygous for both traits (AaBb) can create how many different allele possibilities.
MAVERICK [17]
Distribute the A to the B and the b, then the a to the B and the b. You should get four different possible combinations: AB Ab aB ab. These would then be used to set up one side of a punnett square, and the other parent's genotype would be set up the same, then put on the other side of the punnett square.

What does the presence of pillow lava says about the place?
allsm [11]

Answer:

The presence of pillow lavas in the oldest preserved volcanic sequences on the planet, the Isua and Barberton greenstone belts, confirms the presence of large bodies of water on the Earth's surface early in the Archean Eon. Pillow lavas are used generally to confirm subaqueous volcanism in metamorphic belts.

Hope this helps :)
