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

katrin [286]

Answer:

C- Lined with Endosteum

Explanation:

The medullary cavity, also called the marrow cavity, stores red and yellow bone marrow (or adipose tissue). It is the central cavity in the shaft of bones.

Endosteum lines the inner surface of the medullary cavity. It is a thin, vascular membrane of connective tissue with the purpose of being absorbed when a person is malnourished.

different cell types develop in a multicellular organism because each cell has its own unique set of genes.
ale4655 [162]
That question is confusing. Cells obviously take from its parent cells, which means that DNA is combined from both mom and dad in a unique way. That can cause the offspring to have either the mom's or dad's eyecolor. So the "different genes" part apply to that because for each feature of the offspring it is a complex combination of mom and dad. What I don't get is the different cells. there are these things called stem cells which are basically cells that can be anything in the body when there's a need for it. A stem cell can be a nerve cell or muscle cell for example. So i don't think it requires genes to be exact to form a cell. I hope you get what I'm trying to say
