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

Why are there species instead of a continuum of various animals?
melamori03 [73]
Because evolution itself is a very slow process. Having said that, the chance of having a continuum of various animals would mean that evolution would have progressed very fast. Because evolution is slow, different species establish themselves for different ecological niches and environments, this enables them to become better through time at a certain environment which then leads to eventual diversification in the number of species.

Describe the reason why humans have a blind spot in their vision.
Temka [501]
The natural blind spot is due to lack of receptors where the optic nerve and blood vessels leave the eye. There can also be artificial blind spots when something blocks light from reaching the photoreceptors, or when there is local adaptation of the retina as just after seeing a bright light

Identify one way in which the process of growth of a human embryo is similar to the process of reproduction in a single called o
iragen [17]

Answer:

The correct answer would be mitosis and binary fission.

The human embryo grows through the process of mitotic divisions through a parent cell divides into two equal sized daughter cells each of which contains identical genetic material.

Similarly, single-celled organisms reproduce asexually through the process of binary fission during a parent cell divides into two equal sized daughter cells each of which contains identical genetic material. Each daughter cell grows and matures to become an independent adult.
