Insect populations can develop resistance to insecticides over time. The evolution of resistance is associated with an increase in the frequency of adaptive genes in the population.
- In the case above described it is expected that a few mosquitoes in the population were resistant to DDT before it was ever used (Option a is correct).
- Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) is a pesticide used in agriculture.
- After exposure to DDT, those individuals in the mosquito population that didn't carry gene variants (i.e., alleles) associated with the resistance to this pesticide died.
- Subsequently, insects having adaptive alleles associated with DDT resistance survived and reproduced, thereby increasing the frequency of adaptive genes/alleles in the population.

Had to look for the options and here is my answer. The answer that fits the blank is SPATIAL NEARNESS. When we say spatial nearness, this refers to small distance or closeness and marital homogamy becomes a choice in marriage. <span>Marital homogamy refers to the relationship wherein someone marries another who are of the same sociological status.</span>
This is strong evidence for the hypothesis that the chroloplast originated ais a symbiotic cyanobacteriam that became permanentely incorporated into its host.the complete genome sequence of cyanobacteria and of the higher plant arabidopsis thaliana leave no doubt tha chroloplast originated through endosymbiosis from a cyanobacteriam
