The time it takes in milliseconds for the brain to transmit a signal to your skeletal muscles can be determined given the speed and distance. It was given that the signal travels at approximately 25 m/s while the distance between the brain and one' hand can be set to approximately 1 m. To obtain the time, we divide the distance by the speed and convert it to milliseconds.

The equation would be: (1 m/ 25 m/s)*(1000 ms/1 s) = 40 ms.

Thus, it will take 40 ms for the brain's signal to travel before it can command your skeletal muscles to react accordingly.

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The phenomenon that explains the trend seen in the data is that the mosquitoes' evolution has led them to develop resistance to the compound.

Explanation:

This is a very common factor that we can see in insects. The effect of DDT on the species will have different levels of impact. One is going to be more vulnerable to the compound that the rest. However, after many times of exposition to the compound, a few survivors will develop resistance to the compound and their offspring is going to inherit that resistance. Making them increase the resistance over time.
