Answer: Option C

Explanation:

The basilar membrane can be defined as membrane which is stiff in nature and is  found in the cochlea of the inner ear that separates two fluid filled tubes which runs along the coil of the cochlea, scala tympani and scala media.

The movement of the basilar membrane causes the movement of the streocilia as it is attached to the basilar membrane.

The tectorial membrane along with the hair cells move with the streocilia bending with the relative motion of the tectoria membrane. This helps in signal transmission.

This movement causes opening and closing of the gated channels present on the cilia of the hair cells.

2. What structure caused rotifers to be called wheel animals or wheel bearers?
Tpy6a [65]

The structure that caused rotifers to be called wheel animals or wheel bearers is the corona.

Rotifers are also known as wheel animals or wheel bearers because of the corona structure around their mouth region.

Some rotifers are sessile and live inside tubes or gelatinous holdfasts that are attached to a substrate. Other rotifers migrate around a substrate through inch worming.

This is because when corona is seen in a sequential coordinated movement, it resembles the structure of a wheel, although it does not rotate in reality.

Therefore, we conclude that rotifers are called wheel animals or wheel bearers due to the presence of the corona structure.

A farmer crossed a yellow maize plant (Yy) with another yellow maize plant (YY). He planted 200 seeds from this cross. How many
Vladimir [108]

Answer: 200 seeds will be yellow.

Explanation: In this crossing, one parent will produce half of its gametes carrying allele Y and the other half carrying allele y. The other parent will have gametes with allele Y. After fecundation, the offspring could phenotype YY or phenotype Yy.

In genetics, Y is related to the dominant allele and y to the recessive one. In this case, having the Y dominant allele determine the color yellow. Therefore, as all of the offspring has the dominant allele Y for yellow, all of the seeds will be yellow, i.e., <u>200 seeds will be yellow</u>.
