midsagittal

frontal

parasagittal

transverse

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. ATCGGCT: This is a complementary DNA strand, not RNA. DNA uses thymine (T), but RNA uses uracil (U).
B. AUCGGCU: RNA transcription pairs A→U, T→A, G→C, and C→G.
DNA: T A G C C G A
RNA: A U C G G C U
C. CGTATTA: Random mismatch, not related to either DNA or RNA pairing for this sequence.
D. GCTATTA: Also incorrect DNA base pairing and not applicable to RNA transcription.

A. a decrease in heart rate B. an increase in the respiratory rate C. a decrease in the respiratory rate D. A and C E. A and B

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. a decrease in heart rate: Low oxygen usually triggers the body to increase heart rate to deliver more oxygen-not decrease it.
B. an increase in the respiratory rate: In negative feedback, low oxygen stimulates chemoreceptors which trigger an increase in respiratory rate to bring in more oxygen.
C. a decrease in the respiratory rate: This would worsen the low oxygen state, and is contrary to how the body responds.
D. A and C: Both options are inappropriate responses to low oxygen levels.
E. A and B: While B is correct, A is not, so this combination is also incorrect.
