According to the gate control theory of pain, the structure that is the likely location of the gate is the substantia gelatinous.

<h3>What is substantia gelatinous?</h3>
  • A group of cells called the substance gelatinosa can be found in the spinal cord's gray matter (dorsal horns).
  • It receives direct input from the dorsal (sensory) nerve roots, particularly those fibers from pain and thermoreceptors, and is present at all levels of the cord.
  • The spinal cord has a system that permits pain signals to be amplified in the brain before being processed at the spinal cord itself, or attenuated there, in accordance with the Gate Control Theory of Pain.
  • The "gate" is the device that either permits or forbids the transmission of pain signals.
  • To feel intense pain if the gates are more open since many more pain signals will flow through to the brain.
  • The likelihood that you will feel less discomfort increases as the gates are more tightly shut.

katen-ka-za [31]

Sound would travel faster in a thick piece of metal since the molecules are closer together. However, since there are more molecules, it would be quieter on the other side than the hollow metal.

Suppose you discover a new form of a nucleic acid, XNA. Like DNA, it is double-stranded. You are interested in its mode of repli
victus00 [196]

Answer:

A: Unlike DNA, XNA replicates conservatively

Explanation:

<em>The replication of the DNA is </em><em>semi conservative.</em><em> This means that newly replicated double helix DNAs usually consist of one parental strands and one newly synthesized strands. The parental DNA unwinds and each strand serves as template for the synthesis of complementary strands.</em>

In the case of XNA, the two strands of parental XNA were found intact, meaning that the newly produced XNA consist of two newly synthesized strands. This thus means that the replication process is conservative.

Hence, unlike DNA replication that is semi conservative, XNA replication is conservative.
