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.

Which type of muscles have a predictable tendency towards tightness?

The correct answer is postural muscles.

Postural muscles are muscles with the function to sustain posture in the gravity field. In response to stimuli such as over-use, under-use or trauma, postural muscles tend to shorten. This type of muscles is sometimes called  tonic muscles because they have high resting tonus.

Mucus would most likely accumulate in the respiratory tract as a result of ciliary destruction.

Pertussis (whooping cough) is a highly contagious respiratory tract infection. A severe hacking cough is followed by the a high-pitched breath intake that sounds like "whoop" in many people. Before the vaccine, whooping cough was thought to be a childhood disease. Whooping cough now primarily affects children who have not received the full course of vaccinations, as well as teenagers and adults whose immunity has waned.

Deaths from whooping cough are uncommon, but most commonly occur in infants. That is why it is critical for pregnant women and others who will have close contact with an infant to be immunized against whooping cough. The best way to avoid pertussis is to get vaccinated. Check that you and your loved ones have received their pertussis vaccines.

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

it reflects green light and absorbs other colors.

Explanation:

The term pigment derives from the Latin pigmentum, which means the <em>substance that produces color</em>.

Pigments provide color to cells and tissues.

In vegetables, we can find different pigments, such as chlorophyll or carotenoids, among others. Plants use these pigments during the photosynthesis process to absorb sunlight and fixate carbon dioxide. Stem, flowers, and other tissue have pigments in their cells that define the organ´s colors.

Pigments are chemical molecules that produce color by the selective absorption of sunlight. Whenever white light meets a pigment, some wavelengths are absorbed by the pigments while others are reflected. The color expressed is the product of the reflection. The reflected spectrum is perceived as color and determined to be the pigment color or the color of an object or organism.

The color that tissue or vegetal organ express will depend on the pigment concentration or the combination of many of them.

The green color is ordinary in most vegetable species. Chlorophyll is responsible for this coloration, present in almost every vegetable species. This pigment absorbs blue and red wavelengths. But they reflect spectrums of green wavelengths, meaning that the expressed color is green in different tones.
