<span>The correct answer is horizontal gene transfer, transduction.</span>  

Transduction (a type of horizontal gene transfer)is the process by which foreign DNA is introduced into a bacteria cell. When viruses infect bacterial cells, their DNA is integrated into a bacterial chromosome and thus harness the replicational, transcriptional, and translation machinery of the bacteria. As a result, bacteria cell makes numerous virions (viral particles).

Gastrin, histamine, endorphins, serotonin, cholecystokinin, and somatostatin are hormones or paracrines that are released direct
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option b, that is, enteroendocrine cells.

Explanation:

The specialized cells of the pancreas and the gastrointestinal tract exhibiting endocrine function are termed as enteroendocrine cells. These cells generate gastrointestinal peptides or hormones in response to a distinct kind of stimuli and discharge them into the bloodstream for the systemic effect. These are the most varied endocrine cells found within the body.  

The intestinal enteroendocrine cells produce somatostatin, cholecystokinin, motilin, enteroglucagon, and neurotensin hormones. The G cells present within the intestine produce gastrin. In the gastric glands, the gastric enteroendocrine cells are present, which produce histamine, and others like cholecystokinin, alpha and gamma-endorphin, somatostatin, and others.  

In the islets of Langerhans, the pancreatic enteroendocrine cells are present, which produce hormones like ghrelin, amylin, somatostatin, and pancreatic polypeptide.

As you are cooking, your hand brushes up against a hot pan. You quickly pull your hand away. What type of stimulus is this?
slava [35]
Stimulus is something that causes a psychological response. It can be internal or external. The stimulus is the contact with the hot pan. It is an external stimulus. Sense organs, such as the sensory receptors in the skin are sensitive to external stimulus. The quickly pull of your hand is a reflex action.
The contact causes a nerve impulse that will travel to the spinal cord via the sensory neurons.<span>To respond to the stimulus of the reflex arc, the muscle needs to contract to pull the hand quickly away from the hot pan.</span>
