When a segment of a chromosome is turned 180 degrees, it is called an inversion. Inversions can have different effects depending on the location of the inversion and the genes involved. They can disrupt gene expression and potentially lead to genetic disorders or infertility, or they can have no noticeable effect on the individual.

What occurs in the cochlea in the ear?
That is where the vibrations in the air are turned into a nerve signal and sent to the brain.
How does a person know if they have xx chromosomes or xy chromosomes?
An X chromosome is much, much larger than a Y chromosome. For this reason, an X chromosome is more important for life than a Y. Let's consider the options you posed:YY --> because the Y chromosome is so small, there is not enough genetic information for an organism to survive. This is not viable and will not even form an organism.YYY --> again, same thing. See above.XXY --> Klinefelter's syndrome. This produces a male with an inhibited reproductive ability; he will probably not be able to produce offspring.XXX --> Triplo-X syndrome. Because in normal females, one X chromosome is turned off anyways (Barr body) to avoid any extra genetic info, the same thing happens here, only both X chromosomes are turned off. Only one X chromosome is active at a time. There's no distinguishable difference between XX and XXX females.XYY --> Normal male. Most men who have this genotype probably don't even know they have it.
Why do you need the freezer turned on to make Ice?
Ice will only form from water once water is cooled to below 0 degrees Centigrade. A freezer requires energy (ie it needs to be turned on) in order to pump heat out of the freezing compartment to lower the temperature in this compartment to below 0 degrees Centigrade. If the freezer is not turned on the temperature in the freezing compartment will be that of the room in which the freezer is kept.

The result of this separation will be pure hydrogen and pure helium.
Turn 90 degrees from west?
OK. Now I'm facing either north or south, depending on which way I turned.
Occurs when one x-chromosomes is randomly turned off and forms a barr body?
An X-inactivation occurs when one X-chromosome is randomly turned off and forms a Barr body. It is also known as lyonization.
What does recessive albinism mean?
An Autosomal recessive pattern is one in which certain genes of the X sex chromosome are turned off, autosomal is in reference to the X chromosome and the fact that the genes are turned off is indicated by the recessive. So in the case of Albinism the pigmentation genes in the X chromosome are turned off causing the various side effects.

A something occurs when a shape has been turned any number of degrees around one point in the shape?
Rotation. Though it does not have to be around a point in the shape: the centre of rotation can be outside the shape.

What happens when particles evaporate?
If you are talking about water particles, then they turn into a gas which evaporation occurs at around 70 degrees. This is the step before condensation which is when water particles after they have turned into a gas, collect on the surface of an object.
