  2. Chromosomal inversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosomal_inversion

    An inversion is a chromosome rearrangement in which a segment of a chromosome becomes inverted within its original position. An inversion occurs when a chromosome undergoes a two breaks within the chromosomal arm, and the segment between the two breaks inserts itself in the opposite direction in the same chromosome arm.

  3. Face inversion effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Face_inversion_effect

    The face inversion effect occurs when, compared to other objects, it takes a disproportionately longer time to recognise faces when they are inverted as opposed to upright. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Faces are normally processed in the special face-selective regions of the brain, such as the fusiform face area . [ 5 ]

  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. Differential psychology - Wikipedia

    Importantly, individuals can also differ not only in their current state, but in the magnitude or even direction of response to a given stimulus. [5] Such phenomena, often explained in terms of inverted-U response curves, place differential psychology at an important location in such endeavours as personalized medicine, in which diagnoses are customised for an individual's response profile.

  6. 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 ...

  7. Inversion (evolutionary biology) - Wikipedia

    While the idea of dorsoventral axis inversion appears to be supported by morphological and molecular data, others have proposed alternative plausible hypotheses (reviewed in Gerhart 2000). [1] One assumption of the inversion hypothesis is that the common ancestor of protostomes and chordates already possessed an organized central nervous system ...
