Daisy, a sixteen-year-old, was in a car accident in which she suffered a serious brain injury. Since then, Daisy is unable to re

member anything about her past experiences. She cannot recall what she did last week, how the accident happened, or any of her childhood experiences. However, she is able to read, write, and speak accurately and remembers the names of countries, things, places, and famous people. In the context of long-term memory, explain what happened.

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.

How many of the following statements about DNA recombination are true? It is a natural process where genetic information is rear
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

All the statements about DNA recombination are true.

Explanation:

Recombination can be defined as any process in which the formation of new DNA from different molecules takes place, so that the genetic information derived from each original DNA molecule will be present in the new ones. Allows random rearrangement of genes within and between chromosomes.

It constitutes a source of genetic variability and physical exchange of segments. It has regulatory value, since it can result in the activation or inactivation of genes and is also a repair pathway.

There is general or homologous recombination, which occurs between substrates with extensive homology.

Site-specific recombination, where there is an exchange of two specific DNA sequences.

And transposition, which involves a short segment of DNA that moves from one place to another on the same or different chromosome.

"interpret the diagram"
Pachacha [2.7K]

1. The glutamate causes an influx of ca2+ ions into the nerve cell akin to what occurs during depolarization. However, this occurs excessively without regulation (due to excessive stimulation by the glutamate) that  eventually causes nerve injury through cytotoxic edema.



2. When the ca2+ levels are lowered during stroke, then nerve cell injury would be obviated hence enabling the chances of restoration of nerve cell function.   This would happen because there would be no excess calcium ions to influx when the NMDA receptors are excessively stimulated by the glutamate molecules.

Leonard designed a parallel circuit to light two lightbulbs. But his circuit doesn’t work. Which two items in the circuit must b
tamaranim1 [39]

In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each of the components is the same, and the total current is the sum of the currents through each component.

If two or more components are connected in parallel they have the same potential difference ( voltage) across their ends. The potential differences across the components are the same in magnitude, and they also have identical polarities. The same voltage is applicable to all circuit components connected in parallel.

If each bulb is wired to the battery in a separate loop, the bulbs are said to be in parallel.
