Some bed bugs had mutations in their genetic code which allowed them to survive the chemical pesticide and they produced chemica

lly resistant offspring. How can this be explained? A) mutations were planned out by the bugs B) bed bugs chose other bugs to partner with who had the mutation C) bed bugs chose other bugs to partner with who had no mutations D) mutations involved the genetic variation of the bugs are random

Answer:

The correct answer would be D) mutations involved the genetic variation of the bugs are random.

Mutation is defined as a permanent change in the nucleotide sequence of a genome in an organism.

Mutation can be randomly caused by DNA replication errors, exposure to carcinogenic materials or radiations, transposons et cetera. It can sometimes occur spontaneously which are termed as a spontaneous mutation.

Mutation does not always result in loss of function. It may also result in a gain of function such as resistance to any chemical.

Similarly, in bed bugs the mutations which allow their survival against chemical pesticides are random.

In order for plants and animals to be able to use nitrogen, N2 gas must first be converted to more a chemically available form.
pav-90 [236]

Can you add the picture or describe it to me? Right now I'd guess that it's probably bacteria because bacteria breaks it down into ammonium and nitrate, which is taken up by the plants by a process of nitrogen fixation.  So, D.

A heterozygous tall pea plant is allowed to self-fertilize. The resulting F1 progeny are 25% homozygous tall, 50% heterozygous t
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

25% heterozygous tall

Explanation:

If we take the F1 generation as parents and let them self-fertilise, we have 4 crosses.

The first one for homozygous tall, then we have 100% AA.

The second and third one for heterozygous tall and we have 25% AA, 50%Aa and 25%aa for each of them.

The last one would be for dwarf, and we'll have 100%aa.

Adding all of them, we'll have

AA = 100 + 25 + 25 = 150%

Aa =  50+50 = 100%

aa = 100 + 25 + 25 = 150%

as we had 4 crosses, so dividing the total percentages by 4, we'll have,

AA = 37.5%

Aa = 25%

aa = 37.5%

:. The percentage of heterozygous tall would be 25%.

Hope it helps:)
