Fifty years ago, bed bugs were nearly eliminated in the United States by using of pesticides like DDT. Today bed bugs are back i

n beds and theaters. DDT is no longer used due to environmental issues. Pyrethrums are currently the top choice for bed bug infestations. Pyrethrums are especially useful to us because they generally have a stronger effect on bugs than on humans and animals. Some bed bugs had mutations in their genetic code which allowed them to survive the chemical pesticide and they produced chemically resistant offspring. How can this be explained?
A) mutations were planned out by the bugs
B) bed bugs chose other bugs to partner with who had the mutation
C) bed bugs chose other bugs to partner with who had no mutations
D) mutations involved the genetic variation of the bugs are random

How is polar molecule different from a non polar molecule
m_a_m_a [10]

Polar molecules occur when two atoms do not share electrons equally in a covalent bond. While polar molecules have two parts with opposite charges (i.e., positive and negative), nonpolar molecules have no dipole, meaning that there is molecular symmetry, which results in no opposing charges.
