Answer:

The medulla

Explanation:

  • The medulla is a structure located in the brainstem which lies inferior to the cerebellum and is mainly responsible for controlling the involuntary actions of the body.
  • The various centers that are located in the medulla are - the respiratory center, cardiovascular center, vasomotor center, and reflex center.
  • Out of all the centers, it is the reflex center that is responsible for controlling actions like coughing, sneezing, swallowing, etc.
  • Since in the given question, after the auto accident Chris is unable to  swallow, this shows that there is an injury to the medulla because this is where the reflex center lies.

Answer:

The correct answer is option E. "direct repair using photolyase has removed many of the pyrimidine dimers from the DNA in an error-free manner, so there are fewer lesions for SOS repair to process".

Explanation:

Photolyase is a type of enzyme that catalyses DNA repair from damage caused by exposure to ultraviolet light. Photolyase requires activation by exposure visible light, particularly from the violet end of the visible spectrum. If the Petri plates of the bacteria exposed to UV are located in an incubator that is closely at a large sunny windows, it is very likely that the bacteria is performing direct DNA repair using its photolyase enzymes.
