The correct option is ANALOGOUS STRUCTURES.
Analogous structures are structures that are similar because of the functions they carry out and because of their external appearance. But these structures are different internally.<span />

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Daisy's episodic memory is impaired, but her semantic memory is intact.

Explanation:

Episodic memory is the type of memory that holds events experienced by the person. That is, it is the memory that holds the places the person went, important dates, events that occurred and other things that the patient was present at the moment. If Daisy can't remember what she did last week, how the accident happened, or any of her childhood experiences, then her episodic memory is compromised.

Semantic memory allows humans to communicate with language. In semantic memory, the brain stores information about words, what they look and represent, and how they are used in an organized manner. Daisy is able to read, write and speak accurately and remember the names of countries, things, places and famous people, that means her semantic memory is intact.

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

348.75 individuals, however you may need to round

Explanation:

To solve this problem, you need to think of the proportions you are given. Since she marked 45 fish in the beginning, and assuming none died, you can assume that there are 45 marked fish in the whole population. Therefore, when she takes the sample of 62 and sees that there are 8 marked fish, a good strategy is to take that proportion and use it to solve for the population like so:

8(marked fish in sample)/62(total in sample) = 45(total marked fish)/x(total population. Next cross-multiply 45 * 62 and 8 * x and set them equal to each other, getting you to the equation 2790 = 8x. Finally, to find x, the population size, divide 2790 by 8 to get x= 348.75.
