Answer: c. proteasome

Explanation:

Proteasomes are extremely important multi-catalytic proteases and are involved in various cellular functions. The proteasome is an essential component of eukaryotic cells and is responsible for the ATP-dependent proteolytic degradation of most cellular proteins. They are present in the nucleus and cytosol and can represent up to 1% of total cell proteins. Proteasomes generally degrade proteins to small peptides, most of which are rapidly hydrolyzed by cytoplasmic exopeptidases. It catalyzes the rapid degradation of many enzymes, regulatory proteins, and eliminates abnormal proteins resulting from mutation or damaged proteins. The inability of this cellular organelle can lead to neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson´s disease.

The anterior rami of the brachial plexus are the continuations of the anterior rami of spinal nerves ____________ . These rami e
densk [106]

The anterior rami of the brachial plexus are the continuations of the anterior rami of spinal nerves  C5-T1 . These rami emerge from the intervertebral foramina and travel through the neck. The five rami unite to form the superior, middle, and inferior trunks  in the posterior triangle of the neck. Nerves C5, C6 unite to form the superior trunk; nerve C7 remains as the middle trunk; and nerves C8,T1 unite to form the inferior trunk. Portions of each trunk divide deep to the clavicle into an anterior and a posterior division. These primarily contain axons that innervate the anterior and posterior parts of the upper limb. Upon reaching the axilla, they converge to form three cords.

I would go with false, because not only 100,000 genes, there are lots to those. and there are not even like 100,000 genes, that is not really possible!!
hope that this helps you! =)
