Mr. Johnson was becoming slightly deaf. To test his hearing, his doctor held a vibrating tuning fork tightly against Mr. Johnson's jaw. This sent vibrations through the bones of the skull, setting the fluid in the cochlea in motion. Mr. Johnson could hear the tuning fork this way, but not when it was held away from the skull a few inches from his ear. Where was the hearing problem most likely to

be? A. auditory cortex of Mr. Johnson's brain B. auditory nerve leading to Mr. Johnson's brain C. hair cells in the cochlea D. tympanum or the bones of the middle ear E. fluid of the cochlea

A. The macronucleus divides into two with each new cell receiving an identical macronucleus. B. The macronucleus divides into four micronuclei with each new cell receiving two micronuclei each. C. The macronucleus doesn't divide but it goes to one new cell and the micronuclei go to the other. D. The macronuclei fuse with the micronuclei and then divide into two with each new cell receiving an identical fused nucleus.
