Answer:

Option 2, Arousal

Explanation:

Reticular activating system (RAS) or the  ascending arousal system consists of nuclei and tracts and is involved in the regulation of wakefulness, sleep aspects and arousal.  

RAS is located in the mesopons and interacts with the basal forebrainand thalamocortical systems.  It activates the cerebral cortex and thereby maintain the consiusness. The neurons located at the pontomesencephalic junctionparticipates in this activity of arousal.  

Hence, option 2 is correct

The vertebrate pax-6 gene product (the pax-6 protein) triggers a complex program of gene expression resulting in formation of th
Dahasolnce [82]
The PAX-6 gene is a gene that translates to the PAX-6 protein that serves as a transcription factor needed to activate certain genes that functions in the development of the eyes. While PAX-6 gene may look like it produces different functions for different species (such as formation of the compound eye in insects vs. formation of a single lens eye in vertebrates), it does not. It does in fact only regulate the genes required for the formation of the eyes. Absence or mutation of the PAX-6 gene will cause aniridia or absence of the iris, opaque lens and cornea, and a dysfunctional retina. Also, the function of the PAX-6 protein is conserved throughout evolution of species.
