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>

The thin, yellowish milk secreted in the few days right after birth is rich in antibodies and immune system cells. Group of answ
Damm [24]

Answer: The statement is TRUE.

Explanation:

The thin, yellowish milk which may appear at any time from late pregnancy to few days right after birth is known as Colostrum milk.

During pregnancy, progesterone and oestrogen cause the milk glands to develop in the mother's breast. Immediately after birth, the anterior lobe of the pituitary releases a hormone, prolactin, which stimulates milk production. When the baby suckles at the mother's nipples, the milk flows out.

This first yellowish milk known as colostrum, contains all the essential nutrients that a newly born baby needs. It also provides antibodies and immune cells that protect the infant from disease. The milk is rich in protein and fats than normal milk. It is the first immune system defense they receive after birth. Therefore the above statement about the first thin yellowish milk is TRUE.

A child has a blood type of O. Can the mother of that child have a blood type of AB?
adell [148]

Explanation:

Yes they can. An AB parent can indeed sometimes have an O child. But it is by no means common. In fact it would be fair to say that it is exceedingly rare.

The one exception is in certain Asian groups. Some of these folks have a rare version of the ABO blood type gene called cis-AB. People with this gene version have an AB blood type but can easily have an O child.
