Answer:

The answer is "frequency with which they are activated".

Explanation:

Frequency refers to the number of consecutive repetitive events per unit time. It is measured in hertz (Hz), equivalent to a single event per second. The time is the number of one cycle in a recurrent event, and so the duration is the same for the frequency, hence the frequency at which they are triggered is a key determinant of the brain's connections to be eliminated and maintained.

Why would you send a copy of the instructions in DNA versus sending the actual DNA molecule?
USPshnik [31]
DNA is copied because it cannot fit through the nuclear membrane and travel down to the ribosome.
So it is transcribed (translated) to messenger RNA (mRNA). The mRNA can fit through the nuclear membrane and travel down to the ribosome where proteins can be made.

This is why we cannot send the entire DNA molecule itself, it is simply too big to fit. This is why mRNA is extremely important for amino acid production.
