The mutation you are talking about is called: somatic mutations

These mutations occur in non-reproductive cells and they will not be passed off onto offspring.

I hope this helps!

Grace [21]

Answer;

-Association areas

The association areas of the cerebral cortex are not involved in primary motor or sensory functions; rather, they are involved in learning, remembering, thinking, and speaking.

Explanation;

-The cerebral cortex is divided into sensory, motor and association areas. Sensory areas receive and interpret impulses from sensory receptors , motor areas control movement of muscles (initiate impulses to skeletal muscles). Association areas are involved with more complex functions such as learning, decision making and complex movements such as writing.

-Association cortex is the cerebral cortex outside the primary areas, The majority of the cortex is composed of this area. It is essential for mental functions that are more complex than detecting basic dimensions of sensory stimulation.

1) How is DNA condensed to form a chromosome?
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Hello! Here are the answers:

  1. Chromosomes are a highly condensed form of a combination of DNA and protein called chromatin. DNA strands (negatively charged) are tightly wound around these proteins called histones (positively charged) to form chromosomes.
  2. Mechanism genes code for for proteins that govern life processes. These genes or portions of DNA  are called exons. DNA segments between these exons are called introns that strictly code for regulatory proteins and also contain genetic regulatory elements (DNA sequences that control gene expression).
  3. Gene expression is the process of translation of DNA sequences into proteins. The genetic code is the nucleotide sequence in the DNA itself that codes for different amino acids that combine together to form a functional protein.

Explanation:

* 2. The intronic regions are misleadingly referred to as "junk DNA" but introns code for crucial regulatory elements that control gene expression.

* 3. The genetic code determines the sequence of amino acids in various proteins.
