<u>Answer</u>:

The term for the ability of muscles to be slightly contracted at all times to be ready to act is Muscle tone.  

<u>Explanation</u>:

Regular partial contraction of the muscle or can be said as its resistance power to stretching during the resting phase. It helps in maintaining the posture of the body. The muscle tone occurs due to the hypotonia. This happens as the muscles depends upon the motor nerve signals which can be disrupted at the brain level, spinal cord or may be due to damage of muscle nerve. It can be measured with the stiffness which acts as a resistance to that of the passive movement.

IM GIVING 30 POINTS TO WHOEVER ANSWERS THESE
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer: 1. Homologous structures provide evidence for common ancestry, while analogous structures show that similar selective pressures can produce similar adaptations (beneficial features). Similarities and differences among biological molecules (e.g., in the DNA sequence of genes) can be used to determine species' relatedness.

2. The changes in our behavioral patterns and adaptations that are caused by these technological advances could prove to be the primary driving forces behind the next stage of evolution for our species. These members of the species are more likely to reproduce and pass their genes on to their children.
