Answer:

The pesticides are worn off by the weather.

Explanation:

Becuase the chemicals can only work for a little in the pesticides so when bad weather comes around it finishes the rest of the chemicals in the pesticide.

Probably insects developed resistance to the pesticide.

In the exposed example, the first time that the farmer sprayed the pesticide, the insect population decrease sharply. This means that the chemical affected them severely. They probably passed this modification to the following generations, which expressed it, and developed resistance to the pesticide.

Explain the difference between each of the following substitution mutations:
pentagon [3]

Answer: silent mutation: a nucleotide base in a codon is replaced with a different base BUT the resulting amino acid isn’t affected.

Missense mutation: similar to a silent mutation, the only difference is that the switch of the nucleotide DOES result in a DIFFERENT amino acid

Nonsense mutation: a nucleotide base is changed, but that change results in a premature stop of translation

(Remember that after transcription, you are left with a strand of mRNA that Is then translated into a protein. The mRNA is read in increments of three nucleotide bases (A,U,G, or C) which is called a codon. That codon makes a single amino acid, and a strand of amino acids makes a protein)
