Answer:

A. Cadherins in desmosomes would no longer be anchored to intermediate filaments

Explanation:

Cadherins are Ca dependent molecules (proteins) that are involved in cell-cell adhesion (they are type of cell adhesion molecule-CAM). Cadherins are composed of: a small cytoplasmic component, a transmembrane component, and the extra-cellular part.

There are types of cadherins called desmosomal cadherins which are involved in the formation of desmosomes (structure for cell-cell adhesion) and they bind to linker proteins and keratin intermediate filaments.

Svetlanka [38]

Most efforts to identify interhemispheric differences in brain anatomy have focused on the size of three areas of cortex that are important for language, namely: the planum temporale, the frontal operculum, and  Heschl's gyrus.

One distinguishing feature of the way the human brain is organised is hemispheric specialisation, often known as cerebral dominance or lateralization of function. The Sylvian fissure's cortical region directly behind the auditory cortex (Heschl's gyrus) is known as the planum temporale.

Wernicke's area, one of the most significant functional areas for language, is centred in a triangle zone. The area of the frontal lobe that, in primates, covers the rostrodorsal region of the insula is known as the frontal operculum.

Therefore, three areas of cortex that are important for language are: the planum temporale, the frontal operculum, and  Heschl's gyrus.
