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 of the structures is surrounded by the connective tissue sheath known as the perimysium?
ahrayia [7]

Answer: Muscle fibers in bundles or fascicles.

Explanation:

Skeletal striated muscle is involved in dense unshaped connective tissue, the Epimysium. From the epimysium depart fine septa of connective tissue to the muscle, separating the bundles and constituting the perimysium, carrying blood vessels and lymphatics and nerves. Every muscle cell is involved in the basal lamina, reticular fibers and a small amount of connective tissue, which form the endomysium. It anchors muscle fibers between them and contains blood capillaries and axons.

What is happening in this image? How does it help illustrate the concept of natural selection?
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

In this image the bird is eating an insect off of a leaf that is easy to see whereas the insect on the other leaf is camouflaged and still alive. This helps illustrate the concept of natural selection because the camouflage insect is able to survive longer and therefore reproduce more.
