Receptor specificity Physical energy such as light, sound, and heat is detected by specialized receptor cells in the sense organs—eyes, ears, skin, nose, and tongue. When the action potential that relays information about the stimulus through the nervous system to the brain. Sensory receptors take in information from the environment, creating local electrical currents; These currents are graded.

Answer:

A single gene form different isoforms of protein that result from the alternative splicing of pre-mRNA sequences. one gene many polypeptide hypothesis applies here very well. This whole process helps in proliferating informational diversity and functional capacity of a gene that'll ultimately he;p in gene regulation.

This alternative splicing of pre-mRNA also produces proteomic diversity that result in various development states as well as various disease conditions later.
