Alright. But I've heard that Insights is quite detailed so would that help in anyway in getting an A*?

Well, read Insights too, then.
But Federal has the sufficient information, required by the syllabus, and it covers all topics. So if you had to make a choice, go for Federal.

PM-ed you the concept with a detailed explanation.
The correct option is D because the shivering of the muscles occurs only when the surroundings temperature is lower than the core body temperature and evaporation of sweat would remove the latent heat thereby causing a heat loss but isn't it the same phenomenon that occurs in vasodilation? The blood vessels dilate and allow more blood to flow which carries more heat to the skin through which it is passed onto the outside the body so why does not vasodilation cause heat loss? Can you please explain?

If the surrounding temperature would be higher than that of the body, there would be no flow of heat from the body since a ''temperature gradient'' won't exist, so arterioles would not dilate.

no difference b/w allele and a gene, its just this that we use the word "gene" when talking about the *matter* i would say, but allele is used to define an organism's genotype.

DNA is deoxyribonucliec acid, chromosome is made up of DNA
