Why do chromosomes need to become 2 strands before the cell divides?

The second strand of a chromosome is a copy of the genetic information for that cell. There are 2 strands so that when the cell divides, there is one copy of each chromosome for each offspring cell.


Lobes of the cereberal hemisphere and the landmark separating them?

The brain is split into two hemispheres, the left and right hemisphere. They are separated by the longitudinal fissure which is a big fold through the center of the brain. the longitudinal fissure contains the corpus callosum which connects the two halves. the Corpus Callosum used to be cut to prevent seizures (split brain operation) but this no longer occurs. LEFT HEMISPHERE the left hemisphere controls: speech writing reading arithmetic verbal memory complex movement language sounds words letters RIGHT HEMISPHERE the right hemisphere controls: geometric patterns faces emotional expression non-language sounds music tactual patterns braille movement in spatial patterns non-verbal memory emotional content geometry direction distance mental rotation of shapes Both halves of the brain contain four separate lobes each: FRONTAL LOBES (front area of the brain behind the forehead and accounts for about 20 percent of the cortex) the frontal lobes are divided into four functionally distinct regions; -primary motor area- Controls all voluntary movement of all parts of the body. Neurons in this area link directly to the spinal cord to control nerves in the peripheral nervous system that contract or relax muscles. -premotor and supplementary motor areas- These areas are thought to be involved in planning and selection. Premotor area responds to external cues whereas supplementary area responds to internal cues. -Prefrontal Cortex- Receives sensory input from other lobes so it is considered part of the association cortex. -Brocca's Area- Small area that is involved in the production of speech PARIETAL LOBES (on the crown of the head) The parietal lobes are involved in such functions such as the sense of touch, detection of movement and the location of objects in the environment. -primary somatosensory cortex- receives information about touch and feelings on the skin OCCIPITAL LOBES (at the back of the head) the primary function of the occipital lobes is visual processing -primary visual cortex- the first part of the cortex to receive information from the retinas of the eyes. TEMPORAL LOBES (around the ear and temple) -primary auditory cortex- region of the cortex where sound information from the inner ear is first received -Wernicke's area- involved in language comprehension As you can see, there are many parts of the brain that can become very complicated when trying to describe and explain them. This is a VERY brief overview of some parts of the brain. For more information or a different explanation search online or use the 'Heinemann Psychology Two' (second edition) which is what I use and which is also what I gained and simplified the information from. -I hope this helps

What is the role of the thalamus in hearing vision taste and smell?

It is the part of the brain whose function includes relaying sensation, special sense and motor signals to the cerebral cortex, along with the regulation of consciousness, sleep and alertness.It acts as a kind of railway signal box. As information comes in through the senses, it goes directly to the thalamus and it sends the signals off to different parts of the railway yard (brain). It will send the signal to the cortex, or rational part of the brain and to the limbic or emotional brain at the same time. Although the limbic system will react to the stimulus a lightning split second quicker than the cortex, often sending people into flight or fight when it's not really appropriate in the present circumstances.--1. Thalamus acts as a relay station for both afferent and efferent fibres of the cerebral cortex. ]2. Along with the hypothalamus, it helps in sleep and wakefullness.3. Along with the cerebellum & basal ganglia, it helps in maintaining body posture.The thalamus is a by-station from the sensory organs to the cerebral cortex sensory regions. It has a somatosensory mapping of the body and has known integrative functions.There is also a part of the brain called the hypothalamus. It is the "leader" of the endocrine system. It controls what and where the hormones do and go and when they go at a certain time---One of the functions of the thalamus is to relay sensory information by transmitting axons to other regions of the cerebral cortex. Such as: the sense of touch is relayed to the parietal lobe, the sense the sight is relayed to the occiptal lobe, the sense of hearing is relayed to the temporal lobe, and the sense of balance is relayed to the cerebellum. The thalamus does NOT relay the sense of smell to the temporal lobes though.---The thalamus is the gateway to the brain that is responsible or receiving almost all incoming sensory information before the information reaches the cortex. Axons from every sensory system, except for olfaction, synapse in the thalamus as a last pit stop before the information reaches the cerebral cortex.The functions of the thalamus include relaying sensory and motor signals to and from the cerebral cortex, regulating consciousness, sleep, and alertness.The thalamus is a by-station from the sensory organs to the cerebral cortex sensory regions.

The thymus increases gradually in size and activity until puberty, becoming vestigial thereafter.It relays information from different parts of the brain.it is part of your brain. it is the relay for sensory impulses. it shows what is pleasant and unpleasant.The thalamus is a major relay center. All incoming sensory information except smell goes through the thalamus, before reaching the cerebral cortex. (And even smell has a pathway connecting to the thalamus.) The actual processing of the sensory information starts here, this is especially true about vision. It also participates in the regulation of sleep, arousal and wakefulness, and plays a role in motor functions as well.

What is the ability to associate numbers and letters with certain colors?

Synesthesia This is a neurologically-based condition in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway. People who report such experiences are known as synesthetes.

What is synaestheia?

Why on earth did you post this as a question, waiting days or weeks for an answers, rather than just typing it into google? There is no such word. But synesthesia is a neurologically-based phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway.
