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.

Answer:

The correct answer will be-ventral ramus

Explanation:

Rectus abdominis is a skeletal muscle found in the front part of the body which begins from the sternum and ends at the pubic zone.

Rectus abdominis is also known as "Abs" which viewed externally appears to be six, eight or ten in number.

These muscles are innervated by the thoracoabdominal nerves which carry and transmit signals to CNS and to the muscles back. The main spinal nerve which controls the movement of Abs is known as the "ventral ramus".

andrey2020 [161]
<span>mtDNA analysis is the best DNA technology to use. In DNA fingerprinting scientists run a gel electrophoresis of the subject's DNA in order to establish the banding patterns of the DNA fragments. People will always share half of their DNA with a parent. SO half of an individual's banding pattern will match half of their parent's DNA banding pattern. If someone is missing is found then scientists can compare the DNA fingerprint or banding patterns to see what the likelihood is of them being related.</span>

Olenka [21]

Answer:

Lysosomes.

Explanation:

HEXA (Hexosaminidase A) is the functional enzyme and encoded by the HEXA gene. The main function of this enzyme is the hydroxylation of the gangliosides.

The mutation in this gene leads to the lysosomal storage disease. The GM2 starts accumulating in the lysosomes and causes Tay Sach's disease. This is a genetic disorder that leads to the breakdown of the cells of the spinal cord and the brain.

Thus, the answer is lysosomes.
