Answer:

1.Structural Divisions of the Nervous System. The nervous system can be divided into two major regions: the central and peripheral nervous systems. The central nervous system (CNS) is the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) is everything else.

2.Like the nervous system as a whole, the peripheral nervous system also has two divisions: the sensory division and the motor division. The sensory division of the PNS carries sensory information from the body to the central nervous system.

3.Sensory receptors with corresponding stimuli to which they respond.

Receptor Stimulus

Apmullae of Lorenzini (primarily function as electroreceptors) Electric fields, salinity, and temperature

Baroreceptors Pressure in blood vessels

Chemo receptors Chemical stimuli

Electromagnetic radiation receptors Electromagnetic radiation

Electroreceptors Electrofields

Hydroreceptors Humidity

Infrared receptors Infrared radiation

Magnetoreceptors Magnetic fields

Mechanoreceptors Mechanical stress or strain

Nociceptors Damage or threat of damage to body tissues (leads to pain perception)

Osmoreceptors Osmolarity of fluids

Photoreceptors Visible light

Proprioceptors Sense of position

Thermoreceptors Temperature

Ultraviolet receptors Ultraviolet radiation

Mixing of genetic information during a sexual life cycle of a species will introduce
Reptile [31]

Genetic diversity is a biological term that explains the variations that exists in the genetic makeup of organisms in a population. It also ensures survival and prevents inbreeding effects.

The process that lead to an increase in genetic diversity include:

I. Random fertilization

III. Independent assortment of chromosomes

IV. Crossing over of alleles   (I, III, and IV)

  • These processes of random fertilization, independent assortment and crossing over ensures continued variation among populations.

  • All these processes allows for the blending and mixing of the alleles to give a combination that is different (not identical) to that of the parents.
