Crossing over, or recombination is the exchange of chromosome segments between non sister chromatids in meiosis. Crossing over creates new combinations of genes in the gametes that are not found in either parent, contributing to genetic diversity.
Answer: regulate the thalamus
Explanation:
The hypothalamus does not regulate the function of the thalamus, rather it is found below the thalamus where it helps control appetite or feeding; body temperature; the amount of water in the blood (known as osmo-regulation); and sleep rhythms.
Thus, the hypothalamus does not regulate the thalamus.
