Yes, it is possible that evolution occurs in this case.

At first, the new insecticide is effective against the boll weevil. Spraying the insecticide will kill the boll weevil in a way. The insecticide might attack boll weevil enzyme or any part of its organs.<span>
But some of them might have a mutation that renders the insecticide ineffective. The mutation probably happens to DNA that code the enzyme or protein that targeted by the insecticide, makes the insecticide completely ineffective.
The next spray will kill all old organism, leaving the new resistant organism in less competition area. This will allow the resistant organism to grow fast and eventually replace all the old organism in the area.</span>

You are examining the phylogenic relationship of a newly discovered plant species (Species 2). You amplify the RUBISCO barcode a
frozen [14]

Answer:

a. Inversion

b. Duplication

Explanation:

Inversion has the name suggest, has to do with a segment of DNA being reversed from end to end.

In this case here,

Inversion is taking place here.

species 1 ATGCAAATTTGGGCCCATGAATGGTTGCAA

species 2 ATGCAAAAATTTTGGTACGCCGAATGGTTGCAA

Therefore, the sequences in bold in species 1 are observed to be reversed end to end in species 2.

Deletion ❌❌

I am sure it's not feasible because deletion entails removal of a few sequences.

It can be seen that species 2 is longer than species 1, which gives another reason why deletion is not feasible too, as no sequences are seen to be deleted.

I believe duplication is feasible since AATT sequences are repeated once.

Our final answer,

inversion and duplication occur here.

Pacific nw tree octopus where does it live
ella [17]

The correct answer is - temperate rainforests of the Olympic Peninsula.

The Pacific northwest tree octopus is a fictional animal, thus it does not exist in the present, nor there is any proof that such a creature existed in the past, though there's every chance that it can evolve in the future.

According to the description of this fictional octopus species, unlike the octopuses we know, it is actually amphibious. This basically means that this octopus is able to live in the water, but also be terrestrial. It has developed from the octopuses in the East Pacific, and it started mostly to live on land, or rather on trees. It has used its eight tentacles in order to be able to have a perfect tool and easy arboreal life, swinging from one branch to another, being able to cover longer distances very easily, and manage to hunt with relative ease.
