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>

When forests are cut down, not only does carbon absorption cease, but also the carbon stored in the trees is released into the atmosphere as CO2 if the wood is burned or even if it is left to rot after the deforestation process.

A body of fresh water is shown below.
Triss [41]

Answer:

Point D

Explanation:

Point D is the point that is most likely to not have any plants growing in it. The reason why this point of the body of water will not have any plants is because of the lack of light. This part of the body of water is dark, with no light penetrating to it. The plants need light to survive, as it is a vital element in the process of photosynthesis. If there isn't any light, the plants can not perform photosynthesis, thus they can not produce their own food, which in turn means that they will not exist in such a place.

What will happen if the pollen tube pore its content inside the embryo sac?
anastassius [24]

Answer:

Once the embryo sac has developed, pollination has occurred, and the pollen tube has grown into the ovary to make contact with the ovule, fertilization (fusion of egg and sperm) can occur.Typically, the pollen tube reaches the embryo sac via the micropyle (Greek, mikros + pyle = small opening), or opening, in the integuments of the ovule.. There, it discharges its sperm into the embry

Explanation:

The pollen tube enters into the ovule, through the micropyle. Inside the embryo sac, the tip of the pollen tube ruptures and the 2 male gametes are set free near the egg apparatus. Inside the embryo sac, one of the 2 male gametes fuses with the egg nucleus and forms a diploid zygote. This process is called syngamy or true fertilisation.
