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

What is the basis on which the subdivisions in a Geological time scale are made
Andru [333]
 <span>The geologic time scale is divided into periods, which are then divided into epochs, which are further divided into ages. For example, the time of the dinosaurs lasted 3 periods (Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous), each period had 3 epochs (late, early, middle), and each age fit into one of those. Many epochs have more than 1 age associated with them. 
As for the basis for differentiating the eras, I'm not so sure. The only one I can say for sure is the end of the Cretaceous, which is when the dinosaurs suddenly became extinct due to a meteor impact. I think the divisions are based on significant, global-scale events that changed the world.

Sorry its so long but that the answer i think >:) ur welcome

In samples of DNA isolated from two unidentified species in bacteria, X and Y adenine makes up 32% and 17%, respectively, of the
Vikki [24]

Answer:

On the basis of Chargaff's rule, in a double-helical DNA, A = T and G = C (Here A means adenine, T means thymine, G means guanine, and C means cytosine. For X, A is given 32%, therefore, T must be 32%, and the leftover 36% is to be distributed equally between G and C. Thus, G = C = 18% each.  

The assumption formed is that the DNA is a double-stranded structure. The species that exhibits higher G + C content in the molecule of a DNA is steadier at higher temperatures as it melts at high temperature. The species Y, which exhibits G + C in total as 66% is the thermophilic bacterium between the two.
