Question
Chapter 11, Problem 80RE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the statement, “how scientists restored the memory in mice and how did this support the theory of epigenetics and cognitive memory,” is to be discussed.
Concept information:
When there is an alteration in the expression of the genes of an organism, rather than a modification in the genetic code, the process is known as epigenetics.
Cognitive memory deals with the conscious activities of the brain, such as, listening, remembering, reasoning, etc.
