Examples of inversion in the following topics:
-
- A pericentric inversion that is asymmetric about the centromere can change the relative lengths of the chromosome arms, making these inversions easily identifiable.
- When one homologous chromosome undergoes an inversion, but the other does not, the individual is described as an inversion heterozygote .
- This inversion is not present in our closest genetic relatives, the chimpanzees.
- Pericentric inversions include the centromere, and paracentric inversions do not.
- A pericentric inversion can change the relative lengths of the chromosome arms; a paracentric inversion cannot.
-
- Boyle's Law is the gas law which states that in a closed space, pressure and volume are inversely related.
- When discussing the detailed mechanics of breathing, it is important to keep this inverse relationship in mind.
- This graph of data from Boyle's original 1662 experiment shows that pressure and volume are inversely related.
-
- Eversion, the opposite of inversion, involves moving of the sole of the foot outward, away from the midline of the body .
- (i) Eversion of the foot moves the bottom (sole) of the foot away from the midline of the body, while foot inversion faces the sole toward the midline.
-
- A wavelength (which varies inversely with frequency) manifests itself as color.
-
- Osmosis is the movement of water through a semipermeable membrane according to the concentration gradient of water across the membrane, which is inversely proportional to the concentration of solutes.
-
- In animals, fecundity is inversely related to the amount of parental care given to an individual offspring.
-
- Australian mammals show a typical inverse relationship between population density and body size.
-
- The pH scale is an inverse logarithm that ranges from 0 to 14: anything below 7.0 (ranging from 0.0 to 6.9) is acidic, and anything above 7.0 (from 7.1 to 14.0) is basic (or alkaline).
