The patellar reflex can be defined as the kicking movement of the lower leg which occurs with a sudden twitch when the patellar tendon of a person is tapped. This patellar tendon is present below a person's kneecap. This reflex happens only when the leg is bended. It is impossible for patellar reflex to occur if the leg is straight as the quadriceps muscles are already contracted and a sudden kicking movement of the leg in such state could not be elicited. The patellar reflex protects the quadriceps from stretching too much.
Answer:
Organisms of the same species must live in similar climates, while organisms of the same population can live in different ecosystems with different climates.

Hi lovely,
The answer you're looking for would be the fern !!
It is B because I had to do this question to
The mechanoreceptor that is located deeper in the skin and responds continuously to stimulation and is associated with perceiving stretching of the skin is called Ruffini corpuscle.
Mechanoreceptor is a sensory receptor that responds to mechanical pressure. They are connected with sensory neurons that convert this mechanical pressure into electrical signal. It is of four types-
1. Merkel corpuscles- detect pressure and roughness on skin.
2. Ruffini corpuscles- detect deep tension in skin, skin stretch.
3. Meissner corpuscles- perception of light touch and slip on skin.
4. Pacinian corpuscles or Vater-panician corpuscles- detect rapid vibrations.
When these receptors sense a stimuli they gets excited and generates an impulse that travels through the nerve cells into the brain.
