5 0

<span>The part of the ear where sound wave compressions and rarefactions cause the eardrum to vibrate is the middle ear. The 8th nerve in the inner ear actually converts the mechanical energy to electrical energy for transmitting to the brain. A membrane called the tympanic membrane separates the middle ear from the outer ear. Whenever a sound reaches the ear, it creates a sound wave that creates vibration in the eardrum. The pressure when high pushes the membrane inwards while low pressure sound waves helps the eardrum to come outwards. </span>

The _____ is the serous membrane that covers the abdominal organs.

lina2011 [118]

The abdominal cavity is lined by peritoneum. It is a membrane that covers the inner layer of the cavity and also the organs inside. The membrane on the inner wall is parietal Thperitonium and the membrane that lines the organ is called visceral peritoneum. This helps in fixation and support of abdominal organs.

Why is protien synthesis different in prokaryotes and eukaryotes?

zhenek [66]

Prokaryotic protein synthesis can be fairly fast because one gene can be transcribed and translated simultaneously. Eukaryotic synthesis is slower, but more precious. They can "check" the mRNA before it is translated into protein.

Choose all the answers that apply.

arlik [135]

Answer:

Option A, B, and C are correct

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance means that the trait represented by two alleles expresses themselves equally thereby hindering dominance of any of the allele completely.

Now,

Let us assume the allele of red petals be represented by "R" and the allele of white petals be represented by "r"

The pink flowers will have genotype "Rr"

Now if two pink flowers are crossed, the following offsprings are produced

Rr X Rr

RR, Rr, Rr, rr

Let us evaluate all the options one by one

a) Ration of pink flower to red flower ( Rr:RR)

There are 2 pink (Rr) flower and 1 Red (RR) , thus the ration of pink flower to red flower is 2:1. Option A is correct

b) one out of four offspring is white in color, therefore the % of white flower is

$\frac{1}{4} * 100\\= 25\\$ %. Option B is correct

c) Two pairs RR and rr are homozygous, thus out of four offsprings two are homozygous. Therefore %of homozygous flowers will be

$\frac{2}{4} * 100\\= 50\\$ %. Option C is correct

d) There are two heterozygous offsprings i.e Rr, therefore the % of heterozygous is $\frac{2}{4} * 100\\= 50\\$ %. Option D is incorrect

e) half of the flowers are hybrid. Therefore option e is incorrect

Therefore, Option A, B, and C are correct
