The ion composition of perilymph is similar to that of interstitial fluid; high sodium and low potassium levels. Dr. Luther stat

ed that Julius’ fall ruptured the vestibular membrane, the membrane between the scala vestibuli and thescala media. What would be the effect of such a rupture on the concentration of the potassium in the endolymph in the scala media, when it mixes with perilymph from the scala vestibuli?
What would be the effect of this mixing of endolymph and perilymph on the amount of potassium (and therefore the amount of membrane depolarization) that enters the hair cells when the stereocilia are bent by sound waves?

If the number of open voltage-gated calcium channels depends upon the amount of membrane depolarization, what would be the effect of this mixing of endolymph and perilymph on the amount of calcium that enters the hair cells? Further, what would be the effect on the number of vesicles released by the hair cells and the number of action potentials produced in the sensory neurons?

How can the mixing of endolymph and perilymph affect someone's hearing?

Answer and Explanation:

If the endolymph is mixed with the perilymph then their potassium levels will tend to reach to equilibrium as it is stated that the intermediate membrane have been ruptured. The potassium level will decrease here.

In stereocilia the concentration of the potassium will also tend to reach equilibrium because the membrane is ruptured and the flow of the ions will not remain unidirectional.

The calcium concentration is more in the perilymph as compared to endolymph so the rupturing will allow more calcium ions to get incorporated in the hair vesicles.

The hearing will be affected by mixing of endolymph and perilymph as it will disturb the concentration of various ions and hence the ion channel will be clogged and there will be hearing loss.

Answer:

Genetic or DNA tests on the offspring.

Explanation:

The DNA test performed on the offspring, revealed that there was only genetic material from the mother. Then we are at the presence of asexual reproduction, which is extremely rare in such a complex organism. This form of reproduction is called parthenogenesis, where there is no fertilization by the male.

Setler [38]
The answer that best completes the statement is PHOSPHORS. When we say phosphors, these includes the three primary colors that are shown in electronic displays. Phosphors is a synthetic fluorescent substance typically seen in luminescence as this emits light whenever it is exposed to radiation.

What two parts of a nucleotide do not ?change throughout the structure of DNA a. Five-Carbon Sugar and Phosphate Group b. Five-C
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

a. Five-Carbon Sugar and Phosphate

Explanation:

A nucleotide can be defined as an organic molecule which forms the building block of nucleic acid such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).

Basically, nucleotide comprises of the following parts;

1. Nitrogenous base: this includes adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C) which are mainly found in the DNA while adenine (A), guanine (G), uracil (U) and cytosine (C) are found in the RNA.

2. A phosphate group.

3. A penrose sugar: it is either deoxyribose in DNA or ribose in RNA.

The two parts or chemical components of a nucleotide which do not change throughout the structure of DNA are;

I. Five-Carbon Sugar also known as deoxyribose and it has hydrogen on its second carbon.

II. Phosphate: this is the structural backbone that provides support to DNA.
