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.

The answers are A) ectoderm and B) endoderm.

Fertilization is a fusion of male and female gametes which leads to the formation of a zygote. The zygote undergoes mitosis and transforms into a single-layered blastula. Gastrulation is a transformation of the blastula into a two-layer or three-layer gastrula. Cnidarians are a diploblastic animal because their gastrula has only two layers - endoderm and ectoderm.

Which description is an example of codominance
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Codominance means that neither allele can mask the expression of the other allele. An example in humans would be the ABO blood group, where alleles A and alleles B are both expressed. So if an individual inherits allele A from their mother and allele B from their father, they have blood type AB.
