Explain how the ear helps humans in balancing.​

Biology
1 answer:
Tanya [424]3 years ago

Answer:

The vestibular system which is essential to our sense of balance is located within the inner ear

Explanation:

The vestibular system is the sensory apparatus of the inner ear that provides the brain with the information required for maintaining body balance (postural equilibrium), detecting the position and motion of the head and determining the position of the whole body in relation to gravity. The vestibular system in each inner ear is composed of five organs: 3 semicircular ducts located in the innermost part of each ear (i.e., the inner ear), which are sensitive to angular accelerations (head rotations), and 2 otoliths organs referred to as the utricle and saccule, which are sensitive to linear accelerations. Each semi-circular duct exhibit a different orientation (superior, horizontal, and posterior) in order to sense different movements (e.g. nodding, rotating).

1. What type of succession takes place that increases the biological diversity of an ecosystem? For example, if we started with
professor190 [17]

There are two types of succession that lead to the increasment of the ecosystem:

1. Primary succession is the change in the structure of an ecosystem represented with the increase of the ecological community on an area that has not been previously occupied by an ecological community such as area after the lava flow or glacial lake. The first organisms of primary succession are pioneer plants usually, lichens and mosses.

2. Secondary succession includes the step of removal of pre-existing community and after that, colonization of the new one.

Answer:

B, A fossil found in rocks from one time period

Explanation:

Fossils are used to determine the ages of rock layers. Index fossils are the most useful for this. Index fossils are of organisms that lived over a wide area. They lived for a fairly short period of time. An index fossil allows a scientist to determine the age of the rock it is in. Hope that this helps you :)

What effect would there be on the final daughter cell if the spindle fibers failed to pull a chromosome toward the pole, as in c
allochka39001 [22]

Aneuploidy can result in the final daughter cell if the spindle fibers fail to pull a chromosome toward the pole as in case of non-disjunction.  

Explanation:

Aneuploidy is a condition which arises when one or more chromosome is missing in the final daughter cells.

Non-disjunction refers to the failure of chromosomal or chromatid segregation or separation during cell division. This results in erroneous meiosis or mitosis leading to the formation of final daughter cells or gametes with an extra or missing chromosome. This condition is aneuploidy.  

Failure of separation or segregation of:

  • Homologous chromosomes occur in Anaphase I, affects four daughter cells.
  • Sister chromatids during Anaphase II, affects two daughter cells

This failure of separation leads to aneuploidy chromosomal abnormalities like monosomy, trisomy, etc which can cause diseases like Down’s syndrome, Turner’s syndrome etc.
