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.

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

Grasslands are _______.
dmitriy555 [2]
<span>The grasslands typically lie in the middle of large lanmasses, or the interior of continents, where rivers are most likely to flow far away from seawater sources. Here the ever present value of water can be seen, as it supplies the source of life to all the plants and animals in the ecosystem in a lush and relatively cushy environment when compared to the biomes like the desert or savannah.</span>
