Answer:

sensor

Explanation:

Homeostasis refers to the ability of an organism to maintain the internal conditions of the body irrespective of the external conditions.

The homeostasis is maintained by the homeostatic mechanism which involves the 3 components which are the receptor or sensor, the integrating centre and the effector or organ.

In the given question, the peripheral chemoreceptors measures and sense the pH of the blood therefore the peripheral chemoreceptor will be considered as the "sensor component" of the homeostatic mechanism.

Thus, the sensor is the correct answer.

First, prophase this is when the chromosomes are just chillin in the nucleus that is protected by the nuclear envelope(the purple circle in the blue circle).

Then, metaphase this is when the nuclear envelope breaks down and the chromosomes line up on the metaphase plate in a line.

Then, anaphase this is when the two chromatids that make up one chromosome are pulled apart by spindles.

Then, telophase this is when the spit chromatids start to form new nucleus and causing the cleavage furrow, the line in between the cells that holds them together, to form.

Finally Cytokinesis, this is where you finally get your too new cells.
