The stimuli are processed by the brain. There are specialized regions and cortical networks of neurons that work together in synchrony and harmony which enable you to perceive and process stimuli. 

When we first receive stimuli, our sensory nerve cells transmit these to the centres responsible for sensory stimuli decoding, when these are sufficiently decoded and we're aware of what we've perceived either through our eyes or our hearing for example, we then take action with our motor nerve cells which command our limbs; hands, legs, and other muscles around the body.

Meninges are the only structures here which don't really play a role in processing as they are more of a defensive structure for the brain.

The brain is what processes the stimuli.

Sensory nerve cells are what first send the pain signals to the brain, motor nerve cells are the cells that receive the signal for the muscle to move or react to the stimuli and the meninges are the protective covering of the brain.

Give at least one example of epistasis?
boyakko [2]

Answer:

Example of the Epistasis in plants is observed in the "summer squash".

Explanation:

Epistasis refers to a gene interaction in which one gene is masked by the other gene and affect the phenotype. The gene which masks the other gene is known as the epistatic gene and the gene which is being masked is known as the hypostatic gene.

The epistasis gene effect is observed in which more than one gene controls the same phenotype.

The example can be observed in the summer squash fruits in which more than one gene controls the color of the fruit.

The summer squash can be controlled by the white allele (W), Yellow allele (G) and the green by the recessive form of the w and g. If the W gene is present than it masks the other allele and thus white colour becomes dominant and is considered the case of the dominant epistasis.

Novay_Z [31]

When the rate of repair lags behind the rate of mutation, the possible fate of the cell is that (A) The cell can be transformed into a cancerous cell.

Mutations are the changes in the sequence of genes. If the rate of repair lags behind, there is a major possibility that the cell can turn into a cancerous one. This is because mutations are a big reason for the appearance of cancer.

A cancerous cell is the one that proliferates at an excessive rate. The most important property of cancerous cell is of metastasis. It is the movement of the tumor into different parts of the body and infect the healthy cells of that area as well.
