<u>ANSWER</u>:- option A formation of fossil fuels.


<u>Explanation</u>:-


  • Fossil fuels are formed from dead and decaying plants and animal.
  • When the dead and decaying plants and animals are exposed to heat and pressure over a long period of time they get converted to oil, coal, gas etc.
  • These oil ,coal, gas are called as fossil fuels.
  • The entire process of formation of fossil fuels can take place over a million of years.
  • In contrast to the formation of fossil fuels , the process of photosynthesis in plants, respiration in animals and emission of waste is a phenomena which occurs at daily basis and over a short interval of time.

So, <em>the formation of fossil fuels is the phenomena which takes the longest time in the carbon cycle.</em>

The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has an allele that confers resistance to DDT and similar insecticides, Laboratory strains
kherson [118]

Answer:

The statement which is correct is

<em>The evolutionary fitness associated with the heritable trait of DDT resistance changed once DDT use became widespread.</em>

Explanation:

In the 1930's,  the usage if insecticides was minimal. Hence, the genes for DDT resistance were absent or silent in the fruit flies at that time.

In the 1960's, the DDT resistant forms of fruit fly began occurring at this rate because they were better adapted to survive. According to Darwin, the species which are better able to adapt to the environment survive and are able to reproduce. Hence, with the passage of time the resistant forms of fruit fly will keep reproducing and increase in number.
