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

Marianna [84]

Answer:

Gametophyte,sporophyte.

Explanation:

The gametes produce by gametophyte is contain in Anther and ovaries and sporophyte develops into zygote(plant).

Sporophyte through meiosis produces spores. Meiosis been a reductional process reduced the 2n to n(haploid chromosome).

The haploid spores formed germinate into haploid gametophyte.

Gametophyte at maturity produces gametes through mitosis. Two gametes from similar organism or organism of the same species then fuse together to produce zygote

(a) In human populations where HIV infection is common, are the frequencies of these "resistance genes" increasing, decreasing,
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Increasing

Explanation:

This particular question or problem can be likened to a deductive reasoning. The viral disease known as HIV stand for Human Immunodeficiency Virus which is a disease that damages the immune system of anyone affected with the disease. The Human Immunodeficiency Virus goes through four main stages or steps that is to say the infection stage/step, the stages in which the symptoms does not show, the stages at which the symptoms start to show and the stage at which the Human Immunodeficiency Virus goes or turns to AIDS.

The frequencies of these "resistance genes" In human populations where HIV infection is common will increase. When Human Immunodeficiency Virus infection is common, people in  that particular society will develop more resistance to the virus and the survival of the fittest is taken into account as people with more resistance tends to be more healthier than the ones with less resistance.
