Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B

Explanation:

Meissner corpuscles are one of four types of mechanoreceptors which response to mechanical pressure.

The corpuscles are very adaptive and sensitive receptors which convert the stimuli to action potential and send them to the Central nervous system.

The corpuscles are found in the areas which are exposed to touch or are sensitive to touch like in the fingers of the hand and the lips.

Since the deaf and blind lady distinguishes people with a light touch, therefore, these Meissner corpuscles are involved in helping identify the individuals.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

Height in humans generally shows a normal (bell-shaped) distribution. what type of inheritance most likely determines height? se
Arturiano [62]
I believe it is a combination of polygenic inheritance and environmental factors. Several genes control the height in humans, giving an overall normal distribution. Environmental factors on the other hand such as nutrition smooth out the curve. It is therefore important to note that Human height is a quantitative, or metric trait, that is, a characteristic that is measured in quantity, and is controlled by multiple genes and environmental factors.

The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) possessed by Gram-negative bacteria contributes to the virulence and pathogenic potential of these
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

A. Lipid A

Explanation:

The outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria is present outside to the thin peptidoglycan layer. The outer membrane consists of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) which is the molecule having both carbohydrates and lipids.

The lipopolysaccharide has three parts out of which lipid A is the toxin one. Lipid A is embedded in the outer membrane through its fatty acids. When lipid A enters the blood stream of the host cell, it leads to septic shock. Lipid A is heat stable and highly toxic.
