I believe it is the Hypothalamus. It activates the sympathetic nervous system and the adrenal-cortical systems. Fight or flight response is a specific biochemical reaction that both humans and animals experience during intense stress or fear. It is the body's response towards perceived threat or danger. During the reaction, certain hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol are released, thus speeding the heart rate, slowing digestion, and changing various other autonomic nervous functions, and therefore giving the body a burst of energy and strength.

Answer:

mRNA:   A-U-G-C-A-U-U-A

Explanation:

Given DNA template: T-A-C-G-C-T-A-A-T

Newly transcribed  mRNA:  A-U-G-C-A-U-U-A

Transcription is a process that uses DNA template strand to make RNA strands. The process occurs in nucleus. The nucleotide sequence of DNA template is always complimentary to its respective RNA sequence.

Here, thymine of DNA template strand pairs with adenine of newly formed RNA. Adenine of DNA template would pair with uracil of RNA. Guanine of DNA template pairs with cytosine.
