Answer: The blanks can be correctly filled up with prophase I and metaphase II.

Explanation:

In females, finite number of oocytes are present since birth. The process of oogenesis initiate in embryonic stage only. However, oogonia divide and mature to form primary oocytes. These primary oocytes start meiotic division but arrest in prophase I stage before birth.

After a girl attains puberty, one primary oocyte resumes its division each month during a menstrual cycle. The primary oocyte divides to form secondary oocyte and polar body.

Polar bodies degenerate after completing meiosis II. However, secondary oocyte halts its division again at metaphase II until fertilization takes place. Once fertilization takes place it completes its meiosis II and results into mature ovum and polar body.

Marysya12 [62]

The correct answer is "i<span>t receives incoming sound information and directly stimulates the auditory nerve to transmit information to the brain."

Cochlear implants function to bypass the damaged cochlea due to sensorineural hearing loss (i.e. chronic noise exposure). Cochlear implants functions just like the hair cells and capture sound and transmit it via the vestibulocochlear nerve or the cranial nerve VIII and then to the temporal lobe in the auditory cortex.

Explanation:

Control group in an experiment does not receive any treatments. It is used as a benchmark to ensure that there is statistical difference in data between the variables of the control and those with treatments. It also ensures that there are no other overlooked factors that have an influence on the experiment that needed to be considered. Having a control group reduces the chances of erroneous conclusions.
