Answer:

cephalochordates

Explanation:

Cephalochordata is one of the subphylos of the phylum Chordata with about 30 species. Cephalocords are small (centimeter long) animals, thin, laterally flattened (like the body of fish), transparent and live buried in sandy substrates leaving only their heads apparent. They are currently represented by the amphioxes. Cephalocords are the group of invertebrates that is most related to vertebrates.

The body of the cephalocordates is composed of longitudinal (horizontal) muscles that are divided by blocks called myotomes. The notochord holds in adults giving a stronger structure to the body.

Answer:

<em>Small teeth will be missing. </em>

Explanation:

As seen from the information of the question, that dogs having medium and long teeth will not carry any alleles for small teeth. So, if a certain viral disease eradicates all the dogs with small teeth, there will be no organisms left to carry genes for this trait. Over time, the medium teeth dogs and long teeth dogs will be more adapted to the environment. Hence, after 10 generations no small teeth dogs will be seen.
