A city was intensively sprayed with DDT to control houseflies. The number of houseflies was immediately greatly reduced. Each ye

ar thereafter, the city was sprayed again, but the flies gradually increased in numbers until 10 years later, when they were almost as abundant as they were when the control program began. Which explanation applies to this situation?The DDT killed most flies. The few that were already naturally resistant survived and passed this resistance on to their offspring.Flies from other areas moved in and replaced the ones killed by DDT.The DDT caused new mutations to occur in the surviving flies, resulting in resistance to DDT.The few flies that were affected by DDT but survived developed antibodies to DDT, which they passed on to their descendants.

Answer:

The DDT killed most flies. The few that were already naturally resistant survived and passed this resistance on to their offspring

Explanation:

Natural selection is evolutionary mechanism which favours traits of an organism that help him survive and reproduce. In the example, above,  naturally resistant DDT flies that survived after the use of pesticide had the favuoruable trait (resistance) by natural selection.

Is plate-based or a meat-based diet is more nutritious
seropon [69]
Question: is plate-based or a meat-based diet is more nutritious

Answer: But it's also common to choose a plant-based diet because it's considered healthier. And that's for good reason. Research over many years has linked plant-based diets to lower rates of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and some cancers (as compared with diets high in meat and other animal products

Is a meat based diet better than a plant-based diet? Answer: Mounting evidence shows that reducing meat and increasing plant-based protein is a healthier way to go. A diet with any type of meat raises the risk of heart disease and cancer, when compared with a vegetarian diet.”

Plant-based diet: A plant-based diet or a plant-rich diet is a diet consisting mostly or entirely of plant-based foods. Plant-based foods are foods derived from plants with no animal-source foods or artificial ingredients. While a plant-based diet avoids or has limited animal products, it is not necessarily vegan.

Meat based diet:

Meat is a complete, high-quality protein containing all of the essential amino acids your body needs for optimal health.


Meat provides more protein per serving (25 grams per 3 ounces) than dairy (8 grams per cup), eggs (6 grams each), legumes (12 grams per ¾ cup), vegetables or nuts (2 to 5 grams per serving).

Describe two potential biological risks of large scale cultivation and use of such genetically modified plants
expeople1 [14]
Risk of large scale production:
1. With an increase in production, there can become managerial problems. Workers can become lax, making of decisions become difficult and communication between workers become hard.
2. A large scale operation, needs technical tools like machines. Finance to buy machines can become a problem and hamper growth.

Risk of Genetically modified plants
1. They can become contaminants. The cross pollinated plants and seeds can travel, and contaminate the gene pool. Thereby, threatening future generations of plants.
2. They can produce side effects. Engineered plants, can lead to development of new toxins, carcinogens and deficiencies of nutrition.

Leno4ka [110]
<span>The distinct evidence of climate change in the O’Higgins glacier is proven by the measurement of the area that it covers. About 11.5 kilometers of glacier land has melted within the twentieth century. Satellite images reveal the retreat of glaciers where they compared early 1900s images from the present.
