Outer hair cells change their axial dimensions in response to electrical stimulation.

What is basilar membrane motion?

Hair cell stereocilia move as a result of the basilar membrane's movement. The tectorial membrane and the hair cells, which are connected to the basilar membrane, move along with it when it moves, and the stereocilia bend in response to the relative motion of the tectorial membrane.

The hair cells that are linked to the auditory nerve fibers are stimulated by the basilar membrane's movement. While the outside hair cells actively affect the basilar membrane's vibrations, the inner hair cells convert hydromechanical vibration into action potentials.

With each sound cycle, the intracellular voltage of the outer hair cells varies, causing them to lengthen and contract. This increases the organ of Corti's vibration, enabling exceptionally high hearing sensitivity and frequency selectivity.

Answer:

a. the environmental variance (VE) = 3.5 g ²

b. 17.5 g ² for population

c. the heritability of broad sense (H2) = 0.83

Explanation:

a.With the information we have we can infer that environmental factors influence A, which is considered isogenic, thus, the environmental variance (VE) = 3.5 g ²

b.When studying population B, comparing it without environmental changes with respect to population A, we found that its total variance (VT) = 21.0g ²

We generate the following formula with the data obtained previously to find the genetic variation

VT = VE + VG

then VG = VT-VE

replacing data:

VG = 21.0 - 3.5 = 17.5 g ² for population

c. Regarding the heritability of broad sense (H2) in population B, we can reach the result with the data previously obtained like this:

H2 = VG / VT = 17.5 / 21.0 = 0.83
