Indicate whether each of the following better applies to a coherent (C) or incoherent (I) feed-forward motif. Your answer would be a three-letter string composed of letters C and I only, e.g. CCC.
( ) It can provide cellular responses with robustness despite perturbations in the input signal.
( ) A cellular pathway with such a motif generally requires a sustained (long) input signal to generate a full response.
( ) A cellular pathway with such a motif can generate a brief pulse of response in the presence of a sustained input signal.

A coherent feed-forward interaction can detect persistent inputs and ignore brief fluctuations. An incoherent feed-forward interaction can generate pulses.
