Answer:
Pressure sensing cells
Explanation:
Merkel cells provide information on pressure, position and deep static touch features such as shapes and edges. They are tactile sensors on the business of mechanotransduction. They encode surface features of touched objects into perception, but also have to do with proprioception.
"Exponential growth" means that the bigger it is, the faster it grows.

Answer:
Gene therapy
Explanation:
Gene therapy can be defined as the methodologies used to modify/restore the expression of target genes and thus cure and treat genetic disorders. Gene therapy approaches consist of delivering specific nucleic acids (either RNA or DNA) in the cells of the individual to be treated. Some of the most important gene therapy approaches include the use of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) in order to block target gene expression, adenovirus vectors to insert genes into host cells, the use of the CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing system to insert specific sequences by the mechanism of homologous recombination, etc.
One major reason for exploring extreme environments is to find new resources. An example of a resource is the search for a new antibiotic. Extreme environments have rare species endemic to the regions which can offer different insights from the normative environment we are used to.
No, I would not. This is because the risk of death is higher in an extreme environment. Example of these risks are deadly diseases or harsh climate. The body may be unable to adjust to the extreme environment hence may be unable to restore homoeostasis; such as in restoring body heat in extremely cold environments hence leading to hypothermia.
