Answer:

Sensory transduction

Explanation:

Sensory transduction is a process by which the sensory neuron transforms the obtained sensory information into an electric signal. Sensory neurons are the afferent neurons and are activated when they receive stimulus from a sensory receptor. This is followed by the firing of action potential to convey the sensory information into the CNS through the cranial or spinal nerve.

Change in temperature serves as a stimulus for thermosensory neurons present in the skin. The activated thermosensory neuron then produces an electric signal by the process of sensory transduction during which a nerve impulse is generated and action potential to convey the information.

Which puppy is the heaviest?
12345 [234]

Answer : B is the heaviest puppy amongst all.

Explanation : There are three comparisons shown in the figure, out of which B is assumed to be heaviest amongst all on the basis of following assumptions.

When weighing A and C puppy, A was found to have lighter weight than C. So, in this case C is the heavier puppy.

In second case, when C and D are weighed, both are found to be equal in weight.

Then last comparison was with B and D puppies where, D was observed to be of light weight and B proved to be the heaviest.

Therefore, the conclusion is that B is the heaviest puppy in comparison with rest others.

slava [35]

Answer:

c)polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Explanation:

Because the paleontologist recovered only a bit of tissue  and it is very old, it is very likely that the DNA in the sample is very small and part of it is degraded. Anyway, the paleontologist must first amplify the DNA sample to obtain many identical copies of the specific region of the DNA they want to compare. the above is done through a polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
