Does In your inner ear different parts of the basilar membrane vibrate at different natural frequencies?

Yes. It is correct. In your ear different parts of the basilar membrane vibrate at different natural frequencies. You have stapes bone attached to oval window. When it vibrates, the vibrations are transmitted to round window. This transmission goes through scala vestibuli and comes back through scala tympani. This can happen because there is communication between to channels at the tip. When this fluid vibrates, the vibrations are taken up by different part of basilar membrane. For this you have to have the basilar membrane anatomically tapered. The longer part vibrates with low frequency sound and tapering part vibrates with sounds of higher frequencies successively. So the 'resultant' frequency is taken up by part of the basilar membrane. The signal is transmitted by hair cells to brain. With successive 'resultant' signals brain can analyse the hundreds of different sounds. Two ears together give stereoscopic effect to the sound.

The structure within the cochlea containing hair cells that vibrate at different natural frequencies is the?
basilar membrane
Does natural selection on single-gene trait cannot lead to changes in allele frequencies?
Natural selection on a single-gene trait can lead to changes in allele frequencies for the alleles of that gene.
Why are mutations are important for evolution?
Mutations serve up the variations in organisms to natural selection. The reproductively successful variations pass on these successful traits to progeny and allele frequencies change because of this and this is evolution.
What are the example of natural resources?
There are a great many different types of natural resources that could be considered. These natural resources include fresh water.
What is trans heterozygous?
Trans heterozygous is a diploid organism that is heterozygous but it has two different loci(genes). They each have one natural allele and allele that is different from the natural allele due to a mutation.
The structure within the cochlea containing hair cells that vibrate at different natural frequencies is the?
basilar membrane
How is pitch translated in your ear?
In your inner ear, different parts of the basilar membrane vibrate at different natural frequencies, and hair cells near those parts send nerve impulses to your brain where they are interpreted as different pitches.
Can A standing wave can only occur at natural frequencies?
A standing wave can occur only at specific frequencies that are called natural frequencies.
What is the relationship between natural frequencies of an object and the harmonics that can be created in the object?
The frequencies of the harmonics are integer multiples of the natural frequency.
How many normal modes of oscillation or natural frequencies does a simple pendulum have?
simple pendulum would have 1 normal modes of oscillation or natural frequencies.
Does natural selection on single-gene trait cannot lead to changes in allele frequencies?
Natural selection on a single-gene trait can lead to changes in allele frequencies for the alleles of that gene.
First three natural frequencies of vibration of a cantilever beam?

What is the natural emitted frequency (Fe) of the Earth?
There is no such (single) frequency. The Earth is not a resonator, but it does vibrate mechanically (seismic and tidal) and emit electromagnetic radiation at many different frequencies.
How do alleles influence natural selection?
It's the other way around: natural selection is the natural process that causes the frequencies of occurence of alleles in the population gene pool to shift.
What is cell membrane pumps?
cell membrane pumps use energy to force molecules in a direction opposite of natural.
Resonance refers to an effect in which the?
vibration of one object causes another object to vibrate at natural frequencies.
What has the author RD Blevins written?
R.D Blevins has written: 'Formulas for natural frequencies of plates and shells'
