Answer:

(C) A difference in the mosquito’s ability to sense insecticide levels

In urban places, insecticides are widely used to fight insects such as mosquito. Some of the insecticides are normally poured in stagnated water  to kill mosquito larvae.

In the situation where two mosquito populations differ in their choice of water which they choose to lay their eggs. It shows one population has more ability to sense insecticide levels.

The other population has less ability that what causes it to lay their eggs in water treated with insecticide. Their larvae will be killed by the pesticide when they hatch.

Which characteristic best distinguishes runoff and infiltration?
Sever21 [200]

The right option is; d. Runoff describes water movement and infiltration describes water storage.

Runoff is the portion of precipitation, irrigation or snow melt that flows over land as surface water instead of infiltrating or evaporating. Factors that influence runoff are permeability, amount of rainfall, slope and vegetation.  

Infiltration is the process by which water or precipitation on the ground surface moves into the soil. Factors that determine the rate of infiltration include; soil type, topography of the land, amount of precipitation, vegetation, and pre-saturation levels.
