<u>Answer:</u>

<em>This is an example of transduction. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Sound from the external environment is collected by the outer ear.</em> It then passes through <em>the auditory canal and reaches the tympanum. </em>

The <em>tympanum then vibrates</em> and these vibrations are then sent to the middle ear which consists of three small bones called malleus, incus and stapes. The sound is amplified  by these<em> tiny bones and the amplified sound is sent to the inner ear. </em>

From the inner ear the sound signals are converted into electrical signals and the auditory nerve sends these signals to the brain. <em>What takes place here is transduction . </em>

Expected ratio of short to long:      2  :   2 = 1 :  1

The actual ratio in this problem is Eight kittens have short hair and 3 have long hair: 8 : 3

Explanation:

In cats the allele for short hair is dominant over the allele for long hair. (SS or Ss for short hair; ss for long hair).

A short haired male and long haired female have kittens. Eight kittens have short hair and 3 have long hair.

For the parents to have been able to produce long haired offsprings, it means both parents possess one copy each of the recessive traits. Thus we have

Phenotype of parent: A short haired male and long haired female

Genotype of parents:                  Ss     x     ss

Genotype of offsprings:                  Ss    ss

Expected ratio of short to long:      2  :   2 = 1 :  1
