GuyGenius001:
I wrote them both but at different times

Which runs afoul of the rules. Incomplete answers.

JamesReacher:
I challenge this answer, hearing is different from feeling!

Not just hearing. The question says with respect to feeding.

fidalgo19:
Tongue

Jacobson's organ

Boom! First complete right answer.

We got a winner.

With respect to feeding, part of which entails stalking/tracking the prey, the bats use their ears, employing the mechanism called "echolocation".

The equivalent of this in snakes is sampling the chemical footprint of the prey in the ambient air using their tongues. The tongue retracts into the mouth and is brushed against an organ in the roof of their mouth called the Jacobson's organ which then analyses the chemicals giving an idea of the presence or otherwise of a prey and it's exact location. :

LionDeLeo:
Just modify as you said.

The question is not very clear.

I already have. Anything beyond that and I'd be given the answer away.

paste007:
Snakes identify movements mainly due to vibrations from the ground or surrounding air. The part of the body that is in direct contact with the ground is quite sensitive to vibration. The skin, muscles and bones help carry the sound waves to the inner ears. The sound waves from the air hit their skin and are transferred from the muscles to the bones. The sound reaches the ear bone which is under the skull. These sound vibrations are sent to the inner ear and the brain processes these vibrations in the inner ear. Thus vibrations pass from the ground through their muscles to the bones and finally to the brain. This way they hear sound.

Not quite what we are looking for. If you say the skin, the complementary organ would therefore be what exactly?

Evablizin:
cc omenka

I'm sorry..

veilkonsultant:
omenka, I noted tongue first. they complement with the vestiges

You aren't quite there yet.

Guys, I'm modifying the initial question for the sake of clarity. So far, no one has gotten the answer right. So I'm sure it is still fair to.

paste007:
tongue

Incomplete answer. Try again.

Haba bros.

Question.

With respect to feeding, The ear is to bats as ____ is to snakes.

What is the name of the complementary organ used along with the equivalent of bat's ears (the ____ above) in snakes?

LionDeLeo:
Omenka, we are waiting.

Okay. Will do in five minutes.

Animal science.

shukuokukobambi:
I have my winner already even if it looks like a copy from Wikipedia but he had to know what he was looking before being directed there

The terms are the words in bold

CC:omenka, LionDeLeo

Nice.

shukuokukobambi:
CC:omenka, LionDeLeo I've dropped my question

Rogger that.

Please monitor their responses. No one is allowed to answer questions half way, only to come back and edit them afterwards.

Shukuokukobambi, I cede my last shot to you.

The floor is open.

Cc: LionDeLeo.

LionDeLeo:
Let him refer me to the relevant comment made by omenka on that.

Not to worry, in the end, I'd make a final post on the summary of all those who answered my questions correctly. That way, everyone who's due to get a prize gets one.

shukuokukobambi:
Truly and omenka sabi where she dey live

Baba, LionDeLeo just hold me for work throughout the evening on education section. I know I must have missed alot here.

But it's been fun over there sha.

LionDeLeo:
You go for science of course.

Or, just go for general subject as they have requested

Okay...

Will do in five minutes.

LionDeLeo:
Omenka, two more to go.

Great.. Apologies for the belated response. Was behind the wheels. Now home.

Let's do it. Which area do you propose?

AnonyNymous:
The temperature of the windscreen condenses it. Air inside the car is room temperature but when it rains the glass gets cold and the water vapour, losing heat to the windscreen changes form to liquid

You got it right. So also did most respondents.

The glass is alot cooler than the air inside the cabin. This air, amongst other things, contains moisture which comes from the air we breath and evaporating sweat from our skin. When the ac isn't running, there is no means to evacuate this moisture and it is trapped in the cabin. This then condenses upon cooler sources (the glases in this case) when it makes contact with such resulting in what is observed under such conditions of rainfall.


Cc: LionDeLeo.

Why does moisture condense on the surface of glasses inside a vehicle with occupants when it's raining and without the air conditioner running?

Cc: LionDeLeo.

LionDeLeo:
Omenka, waiting for you.

A bit soft this time, sciences.

Okay.. I do imagine the questions are really cheap though.

Folks, my next question would be related to Physics. In five minutes time you'd get it.

Endomorph:
I take strong exceptions to your answer. Do you mind explaining better

For every single birth, there's a chance, in this case 50%, that the character is dominant albino. Therefore, all 20 offspring can be albinos.

Thank you very much.

LionDeLeo:
If he sees this post, let acc info pls.

My turn

Shoot.

Ifelove1:
10
Yes

This is the right answer, and it comes first.

Besides this only a few more respondents got it right.

50% of the offspring have a "chance" to show dominant character for albinism and in a population of 20, that amounts to 10.

And yes, for every individual birth, there's a chance, even if it were 25%, that we get a dominant albino. Therefore, it is true that ALL 20 offerings can be albinos.

Cc: LionDeLeo.

Since I've asked a question in chemistry, for the benefit of those with biology majors, I'd go in that direction.

A man with a dominant gene for albinism marries a woman with a recessive gene for same character. If they were to give birth to 20 children, how many of them are likely to be dominant albinos?

Is it possible that all children are albinos?

LionDeLeo:
Omenka, you have it, sciences.

Note, it's now 10k per question.

Okay. Be right there.

I just wanna say.. God bless Nigeria.

Raintaker:
Wow Thanks

Youre welcome.

EgusiShankly:
ok

Thanks for your understanding.

LionDeLeo:
Very good.

Let me console the participants with a relatively easier question.

Meanwhile, if he sees this my post, let him drop his account.

Same for other 5k winners.

30k down so far.

Alright. You have the floor.
