Answer:

  • The p<u>harngotympanic tube </u>is in the <u>middle ear</u>.
  • The<u> helicotrema</u> is in the <u>inner ear.</u>
  • The <u>stapedius</u> is in the <u>middle ear</u>.

Explanation:

The ear has three main parts, the outer part, the middle part, and the inner part. The outer part of the ear starts in the auricle, then it continues with the auditory canal, and it finishes with the eardrum. Then we have the middle ear that is separated from the outer one with the eardrum. In this section, it is the pharngotympanic tube, also known as the Eustachian tube. It is a tube that connects the inner ear with the pharynx to regulate internal pressure.

The inner ear has the bony labyrinth and the membranous labyrinth. In this part of the ear, the mechanical signals are transformed into electrical signals. The bony labyrinth has the cochlea, the vestibule, and the semicircular canals. The helicotrema is in the cochlea, and it connects the tympanic duct with the vestibular duct.

The stapedius is a muscle located in the middle ear. Its insertion is in the stapes, a small bone that moves with the vibrations that come from the eardrum to the malleus and the stapes. The stapedius' function is to protect our hearing by reducing the vibrations that enter this part of the ear.

How could the botanist best determine whether the genotype of the green-pod plant is homozygous or heterozygous?
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Homozygosity is when the two alleles (gene form) are the same while heterozygosity is when the alleles are of different types.

In a gene, an allele is capable of masking the expression of another. The allele being expressed or that masks is called the DOMINANT allele while the allele being masked is the RECESSIVE allele.

A recessive allele will only be expressed (phenotypically) if the two alleles are of the same type i.e. homologous but when a dominant phenotype is expressed, one cannot ascertain whether the organism is heterozygous or homozygous for that gene. e.g T is the gene coding for height in plant, T which represents tallness is dominant over t, representing shortness. In a heterozygous (Tt) and homozygous dominant (TT) state, the plant will be phenotypically tall but will only be short in a homozygous recessive (tt) state.

Since the plant will be tall in homozygous (TT) or heterozygous (Tt), we cannot detect the actual genotype of the plant. Hence, a test cross is done.

A test cross is a cross between a dominant phenotype and a homozygous recessive in order to determine the actual genotype of the dominant organism i.e. whether homozygous or heterozygous.

In this case involving pod color gene, since the botanist is trying to determine whether the genotype of the green pod plant is heterozygous or homozygous, it means the allele for green pod is dominant over that of yellow pod (recessive).

N.B: The recessive trait can only be expressed if it is homozygous. Therefore, the yellow pod plant has homozygous recessive genotype.

A test cross is conducted by the botanist to determine whether the green pod plant is heterozygous or homozygous by crossing it with a yellow pod plant (homozygous recessive).

If any of the offspring plants exhibit recessive traits i.e. yellow pods, it means the parent green pod plant is heterozygous but if all the offspring plants show phenotypic dominant traits i.e green pod, it means the parent green pod plant is homozygous.
