How does the brain develop during adolescence?

Biology

Because the prefrontal cortex is still developing, teenagers might rely on a part of the brain called the amygdala to make decisions and solve problems more than adults do. The amygdala is associated with emotions, impulses, aggression and instinctive behaviour.

NISA [10]
Hello,

Convection currents<span> in the mantle drive plate tectonics. Convection is the reason for o</span>cean currents. Ocean currents<span> result from two processes - the action of wind on the surface of the water, and from variation in water temperature that causes movement. 
</span>
Both the mantle and ocean experience <span>the heat transfer due to bulk movement of molecules within fluids such as gases and liquids, including molten rock; this is called, again, convection.

DNA sequences can act as "tape measures of evolution". Scientists analyzing the human genome sequence were surprised to find tha
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Non-coding DNA regions play important roles in regulating transcriptional activity by encoding different types of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), acting as scaffold attachment regions, acting as enhancer specific regions, etc.

Explanation:

Historically, it had been believed that non-coding DNA sequences were 'junk DNA' since they don't encode for proteins (beyond the sequences that are transcribed into functional non-coding RNAs, i.e., transfer RNA and ribosomal RNA). However, in the last years, it has been shown that non-coding DNA sequences play critical roles in regulating gene expression and genome function. For example, evolutionary conserved non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) with regulatory roles on gene expression such as, for example, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) have been mapped in non-coding DNA sequences, thereby evidencing the functional significance of these regions. In consequence, the conservative nature of certain non-coding DNA sequences evidence that mutations in such regions may have significant deleterious effects, and thereby they could have a negative impact on the fitness of the individual.

Explain how the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half during meiosis in which the diploid parent cell produces haploid d
frosja888 [35]

It happens through 3 stages

  1. Interphase
  2. Meiosis 1
  3. Meiosis 2

In Meiosis one the cell produces diploid daughter cells by combining homogeneous and heterogeneous chromosomes.

In Meiosis two these diploids again tear apart to produce haploid daughter cells
