Answer: option C) The pons

Explanation:

The pons is a band of nerve fibers located within the brain stem. It links the fore brain (cerebrum) to the hind brain (cerebellum)

Answer: The pons

Explanation: Brain stem serves as a relay station which passes messages to and fro between the various parts of the body and the cerebrum. It has three parts, the midbrain, the pons and medulla oblongata. The pons is a group of nerves that transmit signals from the cerebrum to the cerebellum.

Which of the following is an important exception to the central dogma of molecular biology? a) Proteins are responsible for most
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

b: many genes code for RNAs that function directly in the cell

Explanation:

<em>The central dogma</em> theory describes the basic framework for gene expression in living organisms. Genetic information from DNA is encoded or transcribed as RNA which then becomes translated as proteins.

The processes that take place for gene to be successfully expressed are;

  • Replication
  • Transcription
  • Translation

<em>Replication</em> is a process whereby DNA makes a copy of itself to be distributed in daughter cells during cell division.

<em>Transcription</em> is the process whereby genetic information in DNA is encoded as RNAs. The RNAs are short-lived as they are quickly utilized in protein synthesis or <em>translation </em>process.

Hence, the RNAs do not function directly in the cells but mere intermediaries in the synthesis of proteins.

<em>The correct option is b.</em>

Without digestive enzymes, you would likely die from starvation waiting for your food to break down into small molecules. Why do
Serjik [45]

Answer: Enzymes lower the activation energy found in food molecules

Explanation:

Food substances like yam, potatoes, egg etc are all made of chemical elements bounded to one another by chemical bonds such as hydrogen bonds, covalent bonds etc

During digestion, these bonds must be broken for carbohydrates to yield glucose, protein to yield amino acids.

Hence, added enzymes lowers the strength of this bonds i.e activation energy, by placing them into their active sites, which is equipped to cleave specific bonds

Thus, digestive reactions are quicker in the presence of enzymes than otherwise.

A researcher is studying a population of mutant fibroblasts that fail to flatten and attach to extracellular matrix proteins on
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer: Components of cell junctions

Explanation:

<u>Fibroblasts are cells located in the dermis,</u> responsible for the formation and remodeling of tissue. They synthesize fibers and maintains the extracellular matrix of the tissue of animals. So, t<u>he extracellular matrix is a structurally complex entity that surrounds and supports the cells found in tissues</u>.

A cell junction a structure that exists within the tissues of animals and they consist of protein complexes that provide contact between cells or between a cell and the extracellular matrix. So if the cells do not appear flattened and do not attach to the extracellular matrix, then there is a problem with the components of cell junctions, which are mostly proteins as it was said before. And since proteins are coded by genetic information stored in DNA, then if there is a mutation in any of those genes, the fibroblast will fail to attach because the protein of the cell junction will be abnormal.

son4ous [18]

The fusion of the sperm with the egg results in the formation of a zygote that develops into a new offspring. Twins refers to the two offspring which are a result of the same pregnancy. They are of two types. Monozygotic twins are a result of the single zygote (formed by the fusion of one egg with a single sperm) spiltting into two embryos forming the identical twins. Dizygotic twins are a result of two eggs fertilized with two different sperms forming the fraternal twins.

Identical twins are genetically simliar. The genetic material is derived from the same embryo and thus, the DNA of the identical twins are nearly identical. The spilitting of the embryo formed results in the separation of the same genetic material or identical DNA getting incorporated into the twins making them look alike in majority of the cases.

Explain why the farmer in the scenario below failed to grow crops.
shtirl [24]

hydroponic farming is when you try to grow plants without soil, Terrestrial plants may be grown with only their roots exposed to the mineral solution, or the roots may be supported by an inert medium, such as perlite or gravel. The Farmers plants could have been daying at the same rate because some plant need dirt, or mabye the root were just to long.

If I am right please mark brainest, if not tell me what I did wrong

and feel free to ask me anymore question. Have a nice day!
