Answer:

The correct answer is option d, that is, mimicry.

Explanation:

Mimicry in evolutionary biology refers to an evolved similarity between the organism and another organism of other species. The phenomenon may take place between the individuals of a similar species or between the individuals of distinct species. The main objective of mimicry is to safeguard the species from predators, resulting in an antipredator adaptation.  

The evolution of mimicry takes place when the predator witnesses a similarity between the model and the mimic and as a consequence modifies its behavior in a manner, which offers a selective benefit to the mimic.

The papillary muscles contract after the other ventricular muscles so that they can take up the slack on the chordae tendineae b
sashaice [31]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The papillary muscles of both right and left ventricles began to contract shortly before the other ventricular muscles (systole) so that they can take up the slack on the chordae tendineae as the full force of ventricular contractions sends blood against the atrioventricular (AV) valve flaps.

They prevent the backward flow of blood to atria from ventricles. So if they contract after the ventricle systole they would not be able to perform their job.
