Regulating basic biological needs is a function of the Hypothalamus. Hypothalamus is a part of the brain that has a vital role in controlling many bodily functions including the release of hormones from the pituitary gland. Cerebrum is the most superior and anterior part of the brain. It consists of two cerebral hemispheres separated by the flax cerebri of the dura mater, It is involved in reason, planning, memory, and sensory integration. Thalamus is a small structure within the brain located above the brain stem between the cerebral cortex and the midbrain and has extensive nerve connections to both. It relays motor and sensory signals to the cerebral cortex.

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

d. transcription factors

Explanation:

Transcription factors are the proteins present in cells that are involved in the regulation of gene expression. The transcription factors may increase or decrease the expression of a gene. Therefore, a transcription factor may serve as an activator or repressor for a gene. These proteins bind to a regulatory sequence present near or within a gene, interact with RNA polymerase or other transcription factors and thereby, affect the transcription initiation.

Since binding of dioxin to certain proteins alter the pattern of gene expression in the cells, these proteins are the transcription factors. For instance, dioxin may bind to a transcription factor and up-regulate the expression of genes which in turn regulate the cell division.

Nerve fibers from the olfactory bulb project directly to ________. nerve fibers from the olfactory bulb project directly to ____

ohaa [14]

The olfactory cortex (nucus) of the temporal lobe is where the nerve fibers of the olfactory bulb projects directly. This cortex is where you get the smell sensation before determining what the smell actually is. The olfactory cortex is located on the medial aspect of the temporal lobe, particularly in the uncus or the piriform lobe. It is also called the Rhinoencephalon or the nose brain.
