Answer:
Random mutations led to evolution of pesticide resistance genes in bed bugs.
Explanation:
Random mutations in genome of bed bug imparted them the pesticide resistance. Since the bed bugs having the mutation of pesticide resistance were able to survive under presence of pesticides, this variation was favored by natural selection. The bugs with pesticide resistance transmitted this trait to their progeny. In time, the bed bug population consisted of most of the bugs having the pesticide resistance.
Answer: B.) More research is needed to reach a conclusion, including related variables
Explanation:
As it is evident that oxygen is necessary element for living beings. It is required for the process of respiration, in which the food particles are broken down in the presence of oxygen into simpler substances.
Applying this knowledge to the given study suggests that all organisms require oxygen which can be less or more depending upon their habitat either in the shallow waters or in the depths. This conclusion is invalid and requires more explanatory approach which can be achieved by more research so as to derive a valid conclusion in which the two variables oxygen and relative habitats can be compared.
