Answer:

C. Electroencephalography (EEG)

Explanation:

This is an electrophysioloical method of recoding the electrical activities in the brain. The process is non invasive and involves placing wires across different regions of the scalp. It measures the voltage fluctuations resulting from ionic current within the neurons of the brain. This helps to study the state of the brain and rule out disorders

Answer:

C) electroencephalograph (EEG)

Explanation:

The bunch of wires stuck to her scalp was to measure the ionic  differences(Na +/K+) in axoplasm of  her brain neuron, which when  sum up  from million of  neurons at different  electrode location on her scalp  generated electrical field.When this passes through the brain tissues and eventually to the scalp  it can be detected and  measured as spikes of brain activity on the monitor. This techniques is called EEG, and it is used to monitor electrical activities of the brain.

it is used for diagnosis of epilepsy,seizure, nacolepsy-sleep disorders etc.

Its operation principle is that any alteration from the usual spikes of electrical activities of the brain must be due to an anomaly in the brain's function.

Why zooplankton is essential to life on the planet
son4ous [18]

Answer:

zooplankton feed on phytoplankton, the main producers of the ocean, that provide a strong link for every marine food chain. without these consumers, there would be very little methods for energy to be distributed through the oceans ecosystem and life would diminish within the ocean.

A person with a phenotype of HbSS has sickle cell disease. A person with a phenotype of HbAS allele carries the sickle cell trai
makkiz [27]

The right answer is 1/4.

Two carriers of the disease each have a chance in two to transmit their sick gene ie: 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4

A genetic disease is said to be autosomal recessive when

The gene involved is carried by an autosome (non-sex chromosome, X or Y in XY system of sexual determination);

The associated phenotype of this trait is recessive (the presence of two identical alleles is essential for the character to be expressed).

One of the two alleles is transmitted by the male gamete, the other by the female gamete.

But being a carrier of the mutation does not necessarily mean being sick, the manifestations of a genetic disease depend on its penetrance and the variability of its expression.
