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

Which conclusions can be made about the animals of each class based on the structural similarities of the embryos?
Elena L [17]

The correct answer is option 1, that is, there is an evolutionary link between the classes.  

The study of one kind of proof of evolution is known as embryology, that is, the study of embryos. An embryo refers to an unborn young in its initial stages. Embryos of various distinct types of animals, that is, mammals, reptiles, birds, fishes, etc. seems very identical and it usually becomes tough to differentiate them apart.  

Various traits of one kind of animal are observed in the embryo of another kind of animal. This illustrates that the animals are identical and that they are developed identically, signifying that they are associated, have common descendants and that they began the similar, slowly developing distinct traits, however, the fundamental plan for the beginning of the creature remains similar.
