Genetic variation enables bacteria to adapt to changes in their environment. Since, bacteria reproduce asexually (binary fission), they can share genes (genetic transfer) via other mechanisms such as conjugation (exchange of genetic material through direct contact between two bacteria), transformation, and transduction(exchange of genetic material via bacteriophages).

Transformation is a process by which bacteria takes in DNA from its environment through the cell membrane.

klasskru [66]
Answer: A small middle portion of the sperm contains the mitochondria. The tail of the sperm, sometimes called the flagellum, is a slender, hairlike bundle of filaments that connects to the head and middle portion. The tail gives the sperm cell movement. It whips and undulates so that the cell can travel to the egg.

What sensory information is encoded for by hair cells in the maculae of the saccule and utricle? What is the function of the oto
Fittoniya [83]

Answer and Explanation:

The sensory information encoded for by the hair cells in the maculae of the saccule and utricule are:

  • the direction and strength of mechanical stimuli (polarity information)
  • Response to the head's rotational movement

Functions of the otoliths

The otoliths provide balance, movements and serve as directional indicators in vertebrates. They help higher vertebrates in sound detection.

Functions of the vestibular nuclei

  • Maintenance of equilibrium and posture
  • Modification of muscle tone
  • Relays information to the cerebral cortex
  • Directing the movements of the head and eye
  • Maintaining the line of vision
