The answer is C - Organ of Corti.

Organ of Corti is considered as body's microphone. It is present on basilar membrane which is floor of cochlear duct. Mechanoreceptors of ear are present in organ of Corti. On the internal side of organ of Corti, many hair cells are present. These hair cells are the sensory receptors for sound. When there is fluid motion in the ear due to sound waves, these hair cells generate electric signals which are then sent to brain and sound is perceived.

A third-grader decided to breed guinea pigs for her school science project. She went to a pet store and bought a male with smoot

Alexxx [7]

To know what happened here you need to start analyzing the male and female guinea pig that this girl brought at the store.

Male with smooth black fur

Female with rough white fur

So, you have two characteristics: color and style of fur.

Those are the F0, the start of the bread.

The crossing made a litter of eight contained only rough black animals, this told you the dominance of the alleles:

Black (BB) over white (ww) and rough (RR) over smooth (ss).

Parents are BBss x wwRR = BwRs, BwRs,BwRs, and BwRs

So, the F1 or firs offspring will all have the BwRs alleles and the phenotype will be black rough.

When this F1 is crossed, you had a variety of coats and colors.

BwRs x BwRs =BBRR, BwRs, wBsR, wwss

This explains the variety of colors and coats.

How could air this is staurated with water become overstaurated without adding water

White raven [17]

It could be cooled which would then cause it to become over-saturated resulting in condensation that would return the air to a saturated state. Over-saturated air, with a humidity greater than 100%, is unstable, causing changes to restore stability. Hope this helps!

Describes how energy is produced from the power of water. In your answer, include the terms: ocean water, turbine, electricity,

lapo4ka [179]

Most hydroelectric power plants have a dam and a reservoir. These structures may obstruct fish migration and affect their populations. Operating a hydroelectric power plant may also change the water temperature and the river's flow. These changes may harm native plants and animals in the river and on land. Reservoirs may cover people's homes, important natural areas, agricultural land, and archaeological sites. So building dams can require relocating people. Methane, a strong greenhouse gas, may also form in some reservoirs and be emitted to the atmosphere. Reservoir construction is "drying up" in the United States Gosh, hydroelectric power sounds great -- so why don't we use it to produce all of our power? Mainly because you need lots of water and a lot of land where you can build a dam and reservoir, which all takes a LOT of money, time, and construction. In fact, most of the good spots to locate hydro plants have already been taken. In the early part of the century hydroelectric plants supplied a bit less than one-half of the nation's power, but the number is down to about 10 percent today. The trend for the future will probably be to build small-scale hydro plants that can generate electricity for a single community. As this chart shows, the construction of surface reservoirs has slowed considerably in recent years. In the middle of the 20th Century, when urbanization was occurring at a rapid rate, many reservoirs were constructed to serve peoples' rising demand for water and power. Since Hydroelectric energy is produced by the force of falling water. The capacity to produce this energy is dependent on both the available flow and the height from which it falls. Building up behind a high dam, water accumulates potential energy. This is transformed into mechanical energy when the water rushes down the sluice and strikes the rotary blades of turbine. The turbine's rotation spins electromagnets which generate current in stationary coils of wire. Finally, the current is put through a transformer where the voltage is increased for long distance transmission over power lines. Hydroelectric-power production in the United States and the world!
