Answer;

Natural selection

Explanation;

-Natural selection is one of the basic mechanisms of evolution, along with mutation, migration, and genetic drift.Genetic diversity allows the different organisms to have different physiological characteristics. Some of them provides them with genetic resistance, others don’t. The ones which are resistant survive the pesticide, others don’t ; this is known as natural selection.

-Those that are resistant will live longer and have a larger number of offspring (reproductive success). From one generation to another, there will be more and more resistant pests (because of their larger offspring), and less and less pests that are not resistant (because they tend to die young). If the selection process goes on, someday the pesticide will be useless (it will kill no pest).

The pest population is developing genetic resistance to the environmental changes. Pests are evolving resistance to our pesticides at a fast rate. Insects eat our crops so we spray with pesticides. The pesticides kill the majority of pests, but a few survive. These breed with each other and so propagate a version of pest that is resistant to that particular pesticide. We then change our pesticide and the cycle continues. The end result is a "superbug" that is resistant to all currently used pesticides

While you are sleeping, approximately between 30% and 70% of the energy your cells use is derived from fats, fats and proteins are the main source of energy and the percentage is going to depend on the type of body and metabolism.

Heterozygous Red- Rr

Homozygous Red-- RR

Homozygous white-- rr

Monohybrid cross- Rr

Recessive allele- homozygous white i.e rr

Explanation:

Heterozygous have 2 different alleles of a gene as both Red and white alleles are present in the example Rr.

Homozygous: If the 2 alleles at a locus is same then they are homozygous, it can be dominant as RR or recessive as rr.

Recessive gene are the ones that can be masked by the dominant genes as red is dominant on white.

Monohybrid cross is the result of cross between the individual having either homologous dominant or recessive genes or genotype. The result is generally masking the recessive allele resulting in dominant phenotypic trait but the genotype changes.

From the example given in question:

A cross between dominant red as RR

and a cross between recessive white as rr

The punnet square shows:

  r     r

R Rr  Rr

R Rr   Rr

it can be seen that all progeny are red but genotype changed to heterozygous red as Rr
