Insect populations can develop resistance to insecticides over time. The evolution of resistance is associated with an increase in the frequency of adaptive genes in the population.
- In the case above described it is expected that a few mosquitoes in the population were resistant to DDT before it was ever used (Option a is correct).
- Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) is a pesticide used in agriculture.
- After exposure to DDT, those individuals in the mosquito population that didn't carry gene variants (i.e., alleles) associated with the resistance to this pesticide died.
- Subsequently, insects having adaptive alleles associated with DDT resistance survived and reproduced, thereby increasing the frequency of adaptive genes/alleles in the population.

Explanation:
I think that if you use different methods that result in the same outcome <em>you </em><em>will </em><em>have </em><em>more </em><em>chances </em><em>of </em><em>getting </em><em>the </em><em>required </em><em>res</em><em>u</em><em>l</em><em>t</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>This </em><em>is </em><em>because </em><em>you </em><em>don't </em><em>know </em><em>whether </em><em>one</em><em> </em><em>of </em><em>your </em><em>methods</em><em> </em><em>might </em><em>work </em><em>or </em><em>not</em><em>, </em><em>so</em><em> </em><em>having </em><em>many </em><em>of </em><em>them </em><em>help </em><em>you. </em>
Not sure if I'm correct or not but I hope this helps
A. The sun
Abiotic means fake or not living. Trees, grass, and people are living, also know as biotic. The sun is not living, it’s just a ball of hot gas, which is not living.
A cell wall. Animal cells do not have a cell wall have plants have a cell wall.
C. Changes to biodiversity can positively and negatively affect an ecosystem.
