Answer:
The statement which is correct is
<em>The evolutionary fitness associated with the heritable trait of DDT resistance changed once DDT use became widespread.</em>
Explanation:
In the 1930's, the usage if insecticides was minimal. Hence, the genes for DDT resistance were absent or silent in the fruit flies at that time.
In the 1960's, the DDT resistant forms of fruit fly began occurring at this rate because they were better adapted to survive. According to Darwin, the species which are better able to adapt to the environment survive and are able to reproduce. Hence, with the passage of time the resistant forms of fruit fly will keep reproducing and increase in number.

Answer:
Adhesion and surface tension
Explanation:
Capillary action is the tendency of a liquid to rise or fall in a narrow tube. Two main terms are required to explain capillary action; adhesion and cohesion.
Cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same kind while adhesion is the force of attraction between molecules of different kinds.
Forces of adhesion causes water to move up in a capillary tube. The water is held as it rises by surface tension forces acting on the circumference of the meniscus. The water keeps rising in the tube until the weight of the water drawn up in the tube balances the surface tension acting at the top column of the water.
Answer:
D. The sympathetic system prepares the body for stress and activity and the parasympathetic system prepares the body for rest.
Explanation:
- Sympathetic and Parasympathetic nervous system are two divisions of autonomic nervous system.
- Acetylcholine is a common neurotransmitter released by preganglionic neurons of both systems.
- The post Ganglionic neurons of these two systems release different neurotransmitter.
- The sympathetic nervous system is concerned with 'fight and flight response'
- The parasympathetic nervous system is concerned with 'rest and digest ' response.
