Answer:

B. Sea stars are the prey of seagulls

Explanation:

Seagulls eat sea stars, meaning that sea stars are their prey (the organism that is eaten).

Predator: an organism that eats (preys on) another organism

Prey: an organism that is eaten by another organism (creatures can be both predator and prey. For example, a rabbit is a predator to grass, while they are prey to foxes)

Host: An organism that is fed on by a parasite. Think of a dog with a tick. The dog is the host, the tick is the parasite.

Incorrect answers (and why):

A. Sea stars do not eat seagulls

C. If a sea star was a predator to a seagull, that would mean that they eat seagulls. They do not.

D. A host is an organism that a parasite preys on. Not only are sea stars not parasites, but they definitely do not prey on seagulls.

I hope this helps! :)

Which term best describes the interval between the birth of the newborn and the return of the reproductive organs to their norma

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

B. Puerperium, or fourth trimester of pregnancy

Explanation:

Puerperium or the fourth trimester of pregnancy is also known as the postpartum period.
This period starts immediately after the mother gives birth to a child.
During this period the size of the uterus and other reproductive organs along with the hormone levels return to their normal state.
It is the phase where regression of all the anatomical and physiological changes that took place i in the reproductive organs of the females takes place.
This phase is divided int three periods -

1. Immediate puerperium, or the first 24 hours after parturition

2. Early puerperium, which extends until the first week postpartum;

3. Remote puerperium, which includes the period required for involution of the genital organs and return of menses, usually approximately 6 weeks.

This phase is highly critical for the mother as this requires rest and proper care as there are risks of bleeding. Therefore, the midwife or the nurse must take proper care of the mother.

vodomira [7]

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.
