The pesticide DDT was widely used in the 1940s as a method of insect control. In the late 1950s the first DDT-resistant mosquitoes were discovered, and eventually DDT-resistant mosquitoes were found globally. When DDT is used now, the development of DDT resistance in mosquito populations occurs in months rather than years.Which of the following best explains the observations concerning DDT resistance in mosquitoes? a) The proportion of DDT-resistant mosquitoes in a population remains constant due to the metabolic costs of DDT utilization b) Natural selection favors DDT-resistant mosquitoes that are already present in a population when DDT exposure occurs. c) DDT is a chemical signal that delays normal reproductive cycles in many mosquito populations. d) Competition for limited resources causes mosquitoes to migrate to geographical areas that have richer supplies of DDT.
Which of the following best describes the control group for this experiment? a) mating between male flies raised on maltose medium and female flies on starch medium.b) mating between male and female flies raised on starch medium in different populations.c)mating between female flies raised on maltose medium and male flies raised on starch medium.
You are maintaining a small population of fruit flies in the laboratory by transferring the flies to a new culture bottle after each generation. After several generations, you notice that the viability of the flies has decreased greatly. Recognizing that small population size is likely to be linked to decreased viability, the best way to reverse this trend is to cross your flies with flies from another lab. True or false
PLEASE HELP! Question: Brown marmorated stink bugs are native to China and Japan. They were identified in Pennsylvania for the first time in 1998 and have since spread across North America, feeding on agricultural crops. Which of the following characteristics of the brown marmorated stink bug has led to them being an invasive species in North America? A. They reach maturity slowly. B. They are tolerant of a wide range of environmental conditions. C. They are often eaten by native wasps and birds. D. They have only a few surviving offspring each year.
What is the selective factor, or selective environment, in the case of sexual selection, that allows individuals with some genotypes to leave more offspring than individuals of other genotypes? Choose the best answer from the available options. Group of answer choices A-Sickle-cell disease B- AIDS C-Human preference D-Malaria E-Female preference
Use your knowledge of population growth models to evaluate the spread of Covid-19 in the world population. How would you characterize this type of growth? Consider growth the increase/decrease in the number of cases per a certain amount of time (day or week).
Please help with the following: Prior to approximately 12 KYA, humans were hunter-gatherers and relied on wild plants and animals for subsistence. This means that their conscious manipulation of the genomes and gene pools of other organisms was essentially non-existent. 12KYA signaled the beginning of plant and animal domestication efforts. A. Two true statements; one false statement B. Two false statements; one true statement C. All True statements D. All False statements E. None of the above
An orchid species has flowers that resemble and smell like female bumblebees. The flower attracts male bumblebees, which attempt to mate with the flower. They get a package of pollen attached to their body, which they then deliver to another orchid flower of the same species. Which of the following statements about this is correct? a. this is an example of mullerian mimicry b. this is an example of batesian mimicry c. this appears to be a different type of mimicary rhat does not fit either mullerian or batesian model d. no answer text provided
You are studying a population of wild coyotes and notice that every three years there is an epidemic of bacterial disease. Which of the following is the most likely explanation for this periodic cycling of the disease ? A) New coyotes, which are suceptible to the disease, are continously born into the population B) Coyotes are dying from other causes over time. C) During an outbreak the proportion of coyotes who are infected slowly falls as they recover D) Coyotes from other populations who have already been infected and recovered from diseases immigrate into the study population
A federal agency has put you in charge of devising responses to the invasion of zebra mussels and quagga mussels. Based on what you know from this chapter, how would you seek to control the spread of these species and reduce their impacts? What strategies would you consider pursuing immediately, and for which strategies would you commission further scientific research? For each of your ideas, name one benefit or advantage, and identify one obstacle it might face in being implemented.

Because proper controls were maintained and only one variable changed at a time c. Because many controls were maintained d. Because it was repeatedly done by several scientists e.
