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.

Answer:
Human genome has various replicons.
Explanation:
A replicon which is a unit of DNA, has potential to get replicated independently. So, the DNA replication occurs simultaneously at various replicons as a result of which human genome takes much less time than estimated to get replicated .
In contrast to this, prokaryotes like E.coli have only one origin of replication and thus one replicon due to which replication is restricted to once per cell cycle.
Answer:
C) Both are waves of energy, but ultraviolet waves cannot be seen.
Explanation:
Both visible light and ultraviolet are two manifestations of the same thing: electromagnetic radiation (which is, basically, energy in one of its forms). They both travel empty space as waves, but visible light has a longer wavelength, which means that the distance between succesive peaks of the wave is larger than that of ultraviolet radiation. Visible light just happens to have a wavelength in the range our eyes are capable of seeing, but ultraviolet has a shorter wavelength than that, therefore we cannot see it.
