Yes, Avery, Mc Leod and Mc Carty do thought that genes may be involved in the transformation of non virulent rough Strains of <em>Diplococcus pneumoniae</em> to harmful smooth strained bacteria

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Avery was a Canadian medical researcher who along with other two well known scientists of the contemporary time went for an experiment where he took two strains of bacteria Diplococcus pneumoniae - one is rough and nonvirulent and another is smooth and virulent. For a control run, he injected both the bacteria in separate mice and the expected result was there. Now as he injected heat killed smooth bacteria, the mice survived. But as he injected heat killed smooth bacteria with rough bacteria, although there was no organism which can kill the mice the mice died. And autopsy revealed the presence of live smooth bacteria in the lungs.

Thus they suspected something have gone from the dead smooth bacteria into the non virulent rough bacteria which lead to transformation of the rough bacteria to smooth ones. Thus, the experiment was carried on, which suspected role of genes in this transformation.

What happens to a stimulus after the body receives it?
deff fn [24]

When a stimulus is produced it signifies the production of sensation in the sensory organs. This sensation through the sensory organs (eyes, ears, nose, skin and tongue) is sent to the sensory nerve connected to these sense organs. These sensory nerves send nerve impulses through the nerve fiber to the spinal cord. From the spinal cord the nerve impulse is transferred to motor nerves.

The motor nerve then sends response to the stimulus though the same path to the region from which stimulus was received and thus the body responds through muscular activity. Such as removal of heat from the heated object if heated sensations were received.

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

C. Disruptive Selection

Explanation:

Disruptive selection occurs when two extremes of continuous variation are favored more than intermediate traits.  

The extremes of continuous variation exhibited in this species of snail is the color of their shell which allows them to blend with the background of their habitat.  

The shady forest of the habitat makes the dark-shelled individuals to be better hidden from bird predators, while the light-shelled individuals are better hidden in well-lit brushy edge areas. This disruptive coloration exhibited by both individuals makes both individuals of this species of snail less vulnerable to predation.  

Both individuals of this species both extremities would naturally survive in this habitat as snails with intermediate extremities would be highly preyed on since there is no area of intermediate brightness in the habitat to make them invisible to predators
