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.

Why is nonpoint source pollution more difficult to control than point source pollution?.
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

<em><u>Some water pollution is caused from “point sources” that is discrete locations, from which pollutants are discharged, e.g., a pipe, ditch, ship, or factory smokestack. Point sources originate in large and easy to trace facilities, hence are easier to control. In contrast, pollution from “nonpoint” sources is cumulative, arising from multiple inputs over larger areas, such as farms, city streets, and residential neighbourhoods. Hence, such sources are harder to precisely identify, and because of this uncertainty, nonpoint source pollution is harder to control than the point source.</u></em>
