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.

What is the relationship of nitrogen and grass
fredd [130]

Nitrogen is the major nutrient required by grass and is used to stimulate high growth rates and is key to achieving high yields, however if too much nitrogen is applied this can have a negative effects on quality.

High rates of nitrogen can also cause problems with silage fermentation due to excess nitrate having a negative impact on the fermentation process and will produce silage that is less palatable and the animals will be less keen to eat it.

<span> <span> </span> </span> <span> Nitrate is generally taken up by grasses quicker than it is incorporated into proteins and until used this excess known as luxury uptake is stored in the leaves. Excess nitrate will be present if insufficient time is allowed between application and mowing and can also occur under conditions of poor growth eg low light levels, cool temperatures. It is also a problem if there is a dry spell after application, when nitrate cannot be taken up by the roots, followed by a period of wet weather that results in luxury uptake. The plant cannot convert it to protein quickly enough so it accumulates in the plant. </span>

High rates of nitrogen may cause a reduction in crop sugars as they are used to provide energy for the increased rate of plant growth and for the manufacture of plant proteins and this increased growth rate may in turn lead to lower crop dry matter content although in practice this is often not significant.

Excess nitrate can be avoided by following the Grassland Rule to apply nitrogen at the rate of no more than 2.5 kg N/ha/day.

Did earth experience normal or reverse polarity 1.5 million years ago
azamat

Normal polarity

Explanation:

Earth's magnetic field used to be twice as strong 1.5 billion years ago as it is today and Earth's temperature other than what the geologists see from the 'normal' pattern. It has been noticed that some volcanic rocks were magnetized in opposite direction to the direction of the local Earth's field. It is clear that the Earth has experienced the normal polarity 1.5 years ago but at that time, the Earth's polarity was poorly understood.
