Answer:
Santi is walking barefoot through his yard when he steps on a sharp rock. The skin on the bottom of his foot sends this information through a(n) <em>sensory</em> neuron to his CNS. A(n) <em>interneuron</em> picks up this information and carries it to <em>motor neurons of the CNS</em>, which sends a signal to the muscles in his foot causing his foot to pull away from the rock.
Explanation:
The scenarios discussed in the question is known as a reflex action. In this action, specific receptors detect specific stimuli. For example, pain in the barefoot due to steeping on a sharp rock was the stimuli. This stimulus was detected by the sensory neurons. The sensory neurons turned this information into a chemical signal which was transported by the interneurons to the motor neurons of the CNS. The CNS detected the signal and gave information for a response as a result of which Santi pulled back his feet.
The greatest degree of genetic variation would be found in an offspring resulting from sexual reproduction.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Asexual reproduction produces very less variations. Asexual reproduction requires only one parent and thus the offspring would be very similar to the parent. The chance of variations in offspring is very less.
But the case of sexual reproduction is different. Sexual reproduction involved two parents and each parent contribute equal amount of genetic material to the progeny.
Some characters of the offspring will be like one or the other parent and some characters will be a combination of the characters of both parents
. Such a combination produces variant offspring.
