Answer:

B. 25%

Explanation:

Assuming the trait for teeth size is represented by the allele A. large teeth size is dominant and will be represented by A while small teeth size will be represented by a.

Assuming that the population of 1,000 [piranhas are all heterozygotes and they crossbreed with one another:

Aa   x   Aa = AA, Aa, Aa and aa

The ration of piranhas with large teeth to that of the small teeth is 3:1 or 75:25.

Hence, about 25% of the next generation of the population is ecpected to have small teeth.

The correct option is B.

why are you allowed to use the coarse adjustment when you focus the low power objective lens but not when you focus the high pow
FinnZ [79.3K]
Because you will focus past ("overshoot") your specimen. (Like using a race car as a shopping cart: it's too fast, and you'll fly past the cereal and never even see it before you realize you need to stop.) Also: you risk crushing the slide and objective against each other (on older or cheaper scopes), and that would be a costly (and embarrassing) mistake.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Diabetes insipidus is a disease characterized by excessive thirst and the excretion of large amounts of highly diluted urine, which can not be reduced by a reduction in fluid intake.

Diabetes insipidus is due to a deficiency of antidiuretic hormone or insensitivity of the kidneys to this hormone. This hormone causes water reabsorption via action on the distal segment of the nephron during dehydration.
