Generally the ear, and more specifically the cochlea

The ear is composed of 3 parts namely:
 1. The outer ("external") ear, composed of the pinna and ear canal, 
 2. The middle ear, composed of tympanic cavity and three ossicles, 
 3. The inner ear, composed of semicircular canals, the utricle, saccule, and the cochlea. 

Hearing happens initially by allowing the pinna of your ear to focus the sound. Then, by means of the ear canal and the ossicles, the sound is sent to the fluid-filled eardrum, which begins to vibrate. The vibrations are sent to the snail-shell looking component of the inner ear called the cochlea. The cochlea senses these vibrations and converts them to nerve impulses to be interpreted by the brain, making you "hear" the sound.

The Meselson-Stahl experiment demonstrated which of the following about DNA replication? View Available Hint(s) The Meselson-Sta
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

This experiment proved that DNA replicated semiconservatively; half the original polynucleotide is conserved in each of the two copies

Explanation:

Semi-conservative mode of replication means that the two strands of DNA unwind from each other, and each of themacts as a template for synthesis of a new, complementary strand. As a result, two formed DNA moleculesc ontain one original strand and one new strand.

Meselson and Stahl experiment showed this model by labeling the DNA of bacteria across generations using isotopes of nitrogen ( patterns of DNA labeling showed the mode of replication).

How does a prokaryotic cell such as bacteria differ from eukaryotic cells?​
LenKa [72]

Answer:

The main difference is that EUKARYOTIC cells <em><u>have</u></em> a nucleus while a PROKARYOTIC cell <em><u>does not</u></em>. Instead, prokaryotes have free floating genetic material.

Explanation:

To help you remember this distinction:

EU = YES eukaryotes <em><u>HAVE</u></em> a nucleus.

PRO = NO prokaryotes <em><u>DO NOT</u></em> have a nucleus.

I hope this helps and good luck with your assignment.
