Located on the basilar membrane are(is) the <u>organ of Corti</u><u> </u>containing hair cell sensory receptors for the sense of hearing.

The organ of Corti is also called basilar papilla which is a complex form of neuroepithelium composed of hair cells sensory receptors and supporting cells. In addition to these sensory and supporting cells, the organ of Corti also consists of a tectorial membrane. Endolymph which is a potassium-rich fluid surrounds the organ of Corti. The organs known as scala tympani and scala vestibule are present under and above the basilar papilla respectively.

The function of the organ of Corti is to generate electrical signals based on the sounds and transmit these signals to the brainstem through the passage of auditory nerves.

How many daughter cells result from a parent cell in meiosis?
masha68 [24]

Answer:4 haploid daughter cells

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells. This process is required to produce egg and sperm cells for sexual reproduction. During reproduction, when the sperm and egg unite to form a single cell, the number of chromosomes is restored in the offspring.

Meiosis begins with a parent cell that is diploid, meaning it has two copies of each chromosome. The parent cell undergoes one round of DNA replication followed by two separate cycles of nuclear division. The process results in four daughter cells that are haploid, which means they contain half the number of chromosomes of the diploid parent cell.

The scientific name of the sugar maple is Acer saccharum. What does each part of the name designate?
irinina [24]

Answer:Acer represents the genus name while

saccharum represents the species.

Explanation:

In a way to classify organisms, biologists used certain important common features to structure them into groups. The arrangement of living organisms in this hierarchy from the highest level to the lowest is as follows:

Kingdom--> phylum-->class-->order--> Family-->genus--> species.

The largest group of organisms is kingdom while species is the smallest unit of classification.

The common name of the plant used in the question above is sugar maple. Biologist, however, use a standard system to name living organisms. Each kind of organism is given two names, hence the term BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE.

--> The first name is the name of the genus to which the organism belongs.

--> The second name is the name of the species to which it belongs.

Both names are printed in italics with only the genus name having an initial capital letter. Hence, the scientific name of sugar maple is Acer saccharum( in italics).
