Answer 1

Hello. You forgot to put the image necessary for this question to be answered. It is important that you always provide all the information necessary for a question to be answered as you deserve.

The figure is attached below.

Answer:

D. The plant will be sensitive and mutated.

Explanation:

Through the image below we can state that the presence of coleoptera larvae, in the roots of corn plants, are few, which indicates that this plant was a type of mutation to present resistance to the attack of these insects, however, the presence of the larvae, allows us to conclude that the plant remains sensitive to these attacks. This indicates that the plant will be sensitive and mutated.

Coleopctera is an order related to the class "insecta", which is part of the biological classification of insects. However, the coleptera is an order composed of beetles, which can be agricultural and urban pests.
