Scientists find a gene $\mathrm{P}$ that helps human peripheral neurons to sense temperature less than $13°\mathrm{C}$ and induce a physiological signal of avoidance. This gene is present in almost all vertebrates. Considering that gene $\mathrm{P}$ has role only in detection of low temperature, the correct statement(s) is(are)
