Genes located close together on the same chromosome are called linked genes

Incomplete linkage, intermediate between the two extremes of independent assortment and complete linkage.

The labyrinth has three components: 

Cochlea (containing receptors for hearing)

Semicircular canals (containing receptors that respond to head rotation)

Otolith organs (containing receptors that respond to gravity and head tilt)

The bony labyrinth is a series of channels and filled with a fluid called perilymph, which has a relatively low concentration of K+, similar to that of plasma or the cerebral spinal fluid

The membranous labyrinth more or less duplicates the shape of the bony channels and is filled with a K+-rich fluid called endolymph

Cochlea has three chambers: 

scala vestibuli

scala media

scala tympani

#Unit 7. System Physiology – Animal

The upper scala vestibuli and the lower scala tympani contain perilymph and communicate with each other at the apex of the cochlea through a small opening called the helicotrema

The scala media, is continuous with the membranous labyrinth and does not communicate with the other two scalae
