A placebo is basically an alternative medical treatment (e.g. pill)  that doesn't <span>contain an active substance meant to affect health. So it isn't actually solving anything but it can have the placebo effect. Which can be assumed is the reason it is sometimes used in experiments. </span>

A placebo is kind of a "fake" treatment but, typically the person receiving a placebo is unaware it has no medical effect on them so they believe they are feeling better. For example, a lot of anxiety meds are placebos and people don't know so their brain tricks them into thinking they are feeling less anxious. This could be used in experiments where a group believes they are affected to see how they react

Introns in pre-mRNA: a. protect pre-mRNA from enzyme degradation. b. move within the mRNA, giving rise to new exon combinations.
suter [353]

Answer: c. are spliced out of the message.

Explanation: Intron are non-coding portion of the DNA sequence. They do not code for any specific amino acid and are spliced or removed before splicing.

Exons are DNA sequence that code for specific amino acid they are usually left after introns are removed and are joined together before translation into amino acid sequence. Intron splicing can lead to splicing some exons which can lead to formation of an entirely new amino acid or protein.

Spliceosome are enzymes for splicing introns.

When conducting an experiment on how stimuli are represented by the firing of neurons, you notice that neurons respond different
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer: Divergence

Explanation:

One postsynaptic cell has the ability to receive the input from large number of different presynpatic cells and the divergent neurons can have connections with different postsynaptic cells.

The divergence in the neurons allows one neurons to have communication with the other neurons within a network.

The divergence neurons can communicate with any of the neurons (output) in the network.

How is RNA different from DNA
xz_007 [3.2K]

DNA and RNA have completely different purposes in us. DNA stores and transfers genetic information (Eye and hair colour, skin colour, etc..). RNA codes amino acids and makes proteins. DNA is double stranded while RNA is single stranded. DNA uses adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine; while RNA uses adenine, cytosine, uracil, and guanine.
