  2. Chromosomal inversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosomal_inversion

    Inversions can happen either through ectopic recombination between repetitive sequences, or through chromosomal breakage followed by non-homologous end joining. [4] Inversions are of two types: paracentric and pericentric. Paracentric inversions do not include the centromere, and both breakpoints

  3. Dicentric chromosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicentric_chromosome

    Inversions that exclude the centromere are known as paracentric inversions, which result in unbalanced gametes after meiosis. [2] During prophase of meiosis I, homologous chromosomes form an inversion loop and crossover occurs. If a paracentric inversion has occurred, one of the products will be acentric, while the other product will be dicentric.

  4. List of polymorphisms - Wikipedia

    These differences in plumage result from a balanced chromosomal inversion polymorphism; in white-striped (WS) birds, one copy of chromosome 2 is partly inverted, while in tan-striped (TS) birds, both copies are uninverted. [41] The plumage differences are paralleled by differences in behavior and breeding strategy.

  5. Centromere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centromere

    In other words, the difference between "the whole chromosome is a centrome" and "the chromosome has no centrome" is hazy and usage varies. Beyond "polycentricity" being used more about defects, there is no clear preference in other topics such as evolutionary origin or kinetochore distribution and detailed structure (e.g. as seen in tagging or ...

  6. Trisomy 8 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trisomy_8

    Complete trisomy 8 causes severe abnormalities in the developing fetus and can be a cause of miscarriage. [2] [3] Complete trisomy 8 is usually a gestational lethal condition, whereas trisomy 8 mosaicism is less severe and individuals with a low proportion of affected cells may exhibit a comparatively mild range of physical abnormalities and developmental delay. [4]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Face_inversion_effect

    The face inversion effect is a phenomenon where identifying inverted (upside-down) faces compared to upright faces is much more difficult than doing the same for non-facial objects. [ 1 ] [ 2 ]

    Psychodynamics, also known as psychodynamic psychology, in its broadest sense, is an approach to psychology that emphasizes systematic study of the psychological forces underlying human behavior, feelings, and emotions and how they might relate to early experience.
