Pests have always been a nuisance for farmers. The use of pesticides dramatically improved the success of crops; however, it has

been found that some insects are no longer harmed by traditional pesticides. How would Charles Darwin, the man behind the theory of evolution by means of natural selection, explain this phenomenon.
A) Through random mutations in DNA, some pests developed a resistance to the pesticide.


B) The chemicals used in pesticides today are not strong enough to kill unwanted pests.


C) The pesticides used in the past caused unwanted mutations in pests causing them to mutate into superbugs.


D) Through repeated exposure to the pesticides, the pests simply got use to to the chemicals and built up a resistance.

In which of the domains would it be easiest to determine the phylogenetic relationships among organisms?
ioda

The study of relationships and the evolutionary history of various groupings of species is known as phylogeny. The goal of phylogeny is to reconstruct the evolutionary course of all species on Earth. A phylogenetic tree also learned as a cladogram, is a schematic diagram used to show the alleged evolutionary relationships between taxa. Diagrams of phylogenetic trees are based on cladistics, or phylogenetic systematics, hypotheses.

Organization of life, according to taxonomy, divides creatures into three domains:

  • Bacteria
  • Eukarya
  • Archaea

The Eukarya domain are the most easy because they are large enough for their morphological features to be easily seen.
