A. Chromosomes provide the hereditary information for an organism and contains DNA (genes/alleles). Centromere is the condensed area where the sister chromatid joins to the chromosome during replication - is also used to allow crossing-over of homologous chromosomes. Spindle fibres are the fibers that radiate from two poles and meet at the equator in the middle (I think they are used to move the chromosomes around so they can be separated and gametes can be formed, but I'm unsure of this).

What are the functions of the precentral and postcentral gyrus?
Q. Doesn't need to be super complex, but what are the basic functions?
Asked by floridaguy - Mon Oct 15 12:00:01 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. In the frontal hemisphere of the cerebrum, the precentral gyrus is the main motor centre ie it initiates the onset of movements, mainly produced by contraction of skeletal muscle. These impulses pass via the internal capsule to the spinothalamic tract in the spinal cord, both parts of the pyramidal system. THe postcentral gyrus is the principal somatic (of the body) sensory area. It is the end-point of sensory information from the skin (for touch, pain, pressure and temperature sensation) and from the spindle organs in the joints (for position sense). Hope this helps.

A. The skeletal system performs many functions which include: 1. Support the body. 2. Protect vital organs such as the heart. 3. Move the body Comparison Of the Frog and The human The axial and appendicular both make up a frog and human's skeletal system. For a frog, the skeletal system's main function is locomotion and maintaining posture. Although the human and frog skeletal system also protect vital organs the frog does not have any ribs whereas a human does. The frog also has less number of vertebrae, extended pelvic bones, and long bones of the hind legs. The frog skeletal system has l59 and the human has 206. The human's skeletal system is a moveable frame and is an efficient factory for producing red blood cells. The frog's skeletal… [cont.]

Asked by Shadz - Sun Apr 20 15:23:39 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Strange question - depends at what level you are studying. On a simple level, the male reproductive organs are designed to produce and release sperm containing the paternal genetic information, and the female reproductive organs are designed to produce and release eggs (or ova) containing the maternal chromosomes, receive the sperm and provide a suitable environment for the resulting fertilised egg to form an embryo then grow as a foetus inside the uterus. The uterus is specially designed to provide a safe, warm place for the foetus to grow, as well as being where the placenta develops to provide the foetus with nutrients and remove waste products, via the umbilical cord. The final function of the uterus is to contract, pushing the baby… [cont.]

Asked by Adriana - Mon Jun 23 00:18:42 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. "Show the structure" usually refers to the arrangement of the atoms within the molecule or the crystal lattice, but "describe their functions" is very vague and not a topic usually discussed. If this project is for a class, talk with the instructor about this. Your 3D model will "show the structure." This might be very simple for a substance like Sodium chloride. The Sodium cations (positive charge) are smaller than the Chloride anions (negative charge). If "describe their functions" is a reference to what is the function of the cations and anions in the crystal lattice, then one could say that the attraction of the ions is what makes the Ionic bonds which hold the ions in place. These ionic bonds are broken when the salt is… [cont.]

What are there similarities and differences between functions and linear equations?
Q. Are all linear equations functions? Is there an instance when a linear equation is not a function? Support your answer. Create an equation of a nonlinear function
Asked by Richard R - Mon Jul 21 07:50:39 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The distinctions are subtle. A linear equation is an expression that defines a function. Actually, most define a function for each variable involved. All linear equations define functions, but some are not explicitly defined explicitly. For example the linear equation: 2x + y = 1 is the function f(x) = 1 - 2x or the function f(y) = (1 - y) / 2 defined implicitly (i.e. without the dependent variable on its own). Linear equations can only produce linear functions, but there are other types of functions than linear (which I'm sure you know). For example, y = x^2 is non-linear equation that produces a non-linear function.

What kind of hard disks are good for raid functions?
Q. I know that it is a good a idea to get all identical hard disks to set up raid functions for back up, but how will the following things make any difference? Disk capacity, speed, and buffer rate? Is a 500GB hard drive better than a 1.5TB drive?
Asked by trengen2 - Tue Oct 13 01:02:57 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Disk capacity matters if you are deciding between RAID 0 or 1. RAID 0 splits data across 2 drives, and as a result, has better performance and doubled capacity. RAID 1 mirrors one drive, so technically that drive is "wasted." Most people use RAID 1 with a larger hard drive for backup and safekeeping. RAID 0 is often used for dual 1000 rpm (WD Raptor/Velociraptor) for max performance.

Asked by Dianna - Sun Jun 8 23:15:39 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. They are the same function, in a someways. The difference is the location of the relative extrema along the x-axis.For cosine function, you need to think about the unit circle. At a rotation of zero radians, the cosine component (x) of the point (1,0) is 1. At a rotation of pi/2 radians, the cosine component of your image is 0. Go another pi/2 radians, you go back to 1.A sine function of the same preimage (1,0) under the same rotations will give you the values 0, then 1 then 0. In other words, it's one rotation of pi/2 "behind" the cosine function. So all that's keeping them from being the same function is the difference if pi/2 between their extrema. Therefore, cos(x)=sin(x+(pi/2)) OR sin(x)=cos(x-(pi/2)). I hope this helps you. x
