Answer:

A. COAGULATION

Explanation:

Hemostasis is stopping bleeding. To prevent or keep blood in the blood vessels due to damage of the vessels.

Three steps are important in hemostasis;

1. Vasoconstriction : which is the contraction of the smooth muscles of the blood vessels reducing the amount of blood flow to the area of damage and thereby blood loss.

2. Platelet Plug Formation: this is the function of platelet in the blood. It attaches to the damaged endothelium and form a plug.

3. Coagulation/ Clotting : this is the release of clotting factors to the surface of the damaged vessel.

Fibrin is a major component of the clotting factor.

So therefore, coagulation is a process in hemostasis. Formation of platelet plug is a stage also and not the formation of platelet in the blood.

Fed [463]

Answer:

a. The corn borer must have or generate (by mutation) heritable variation in resistance to the toxic protein.

b. The resistant corn borers must survive better or reproduce more than nonresistant corn borers.

Explanation:

When there is a change in the surroundings of organisms, some genetic variations become beneficial to the organisms. Natural selection favors the organisms having these genetic variations.

The development of resistance in the corn borer population requires the presence of the gene for the resistance in the population. If there is no gene already present in the population, there should be a mutation to give rise to such gene/s. The corn borers having this gene should be able to survive better in the presence of the toxic protein and should leave more progeny in order to increase the frequency of the gene in the population over the generations.
