<h2>C) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

  • The spinal cord has numerous groups of nerve fibers going towards and coming from the brain
  • These have been collectively called the ascending and descending tracts of the spinal cord, respectively, these tracts are responsible for carrying sensory and motor stimuli to and from the periphery (respectively)
  • The ascending tracts transmit sensory information from the sensory receptors to higher levels of the CNS
  • The descending tracts originate from different cortical areas and from brain stem nuclei
  • The descending pathway carry information associated with maintenance of motor activities such as posture, balance, muscle tone, and visceral and somatic reflex activity

1. Based on the examples in the table, how do opinions differ from facts?
baherus [9]

1. Opinions are not always right; facts are.

2. Theories are sometimes right, but sometimes they are either wrong or a little off; facts are on point and with the exact answer.

3.  A theory is a scientific explanation of a fact.

4. They all have a good amount of information; also they say approximately to let you know it's not the exact answer.

5. A law is more like a prediction of what will happen if the situation is given and it's shown by the mathematical equation; Theory describes what happens. (Happened).

6. This would try to go against my understanding but it won't happen because I know that theories don't become laws or vice-versa; theories remain theories and law remain laws.

Explain how these terms work together IN TRANSLATION: mRNA, tRNA, codon, amino acid, and protein.
slega [8]

Answer:

The mRNA leaves the nucleus and travels to the ribosome where proteins are synthesized

Explanation:

During transcription, a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule is synthesized from a specific DNA region which is referred to as a gene. Subsequently, the mRNA leaves the cell nucleus through the nuclear pores of the nuclear membrane and travels to the ribosome, where this sequence serves as template to synthesize a protein, in a process known as translation. Within the ribosomes, triplets of consecutive RNA nucleotides called codons bind to complementary RNA nucleotides (called anticodons) of the transfer ribonucleic acids (tRNAs). Each tRNA attaches a specific amino acid that corresponds to its anticodon sequence, which is then added to the nascent polypeptide chain.
