Answer:

Theta - would be unable to initiate

rolling circle - could proceed without primase

Explanation:

Primase is an enzyme involved in the replication of DNA and catalyzes the synthesis of Primers(Short RNA segments)

Bacterial replication can be by theta or Rolling circle.

In theta replication primers are to initiate replication, without primase there will be no primers hence replication will not be initiated.

Rolling circle is in circular DNA and replication is initiated by an initiator protein  encoded by plasmid therefore  the process will proceed without primase.

Aliun [14]

Answer:

Sympathetic nervous system

Explanation:

The sympathetic nervous system of the autonomic division prepares the body for stress or emergency conditions by generating the “fight-or-flight” responses. The sympathetic nervous system triggers the release of stress hormones from the adrenal medulla to generate the set of physiological responses.

There is dilation of the pupil, and an increased rate of heartbeat and increased blood pressure. Other responses include dilation of airways and dilation of blood vessels that supply blood to skeletal muscles, heart muscles, liver, etc. Under the given emergency condition, the sympathetic nervous system of Meghan was activated to generate the fight or flight response.
