It is necessary to eliminate all invasive fire ant colonies to eradicate the invasive population because fire ant colonies can spread by sending out winged members and even a single remaining colony can rebuild the invasive species’ population.
Answer: Option B & C
<u>Explanation:</u>
Invasive fire ants are red in color and they spread so rapidly. When slightly disturbed they become more aggressive and they sting everything on their way. Their sting is so painful and cause excess swelling, itching and thickening of tongue. Fire ant colonies are to be eliminated completely because they form mounds on trees and totally eat them up.
Baits are used to minimize the invasive fire ants but to eradicate them totally is a hypothetical question. When the bait acts on a colony of the red ants at once it splits into small colonies. These small colonies are enough to rebuild a whole invasive species again and they have the ability to spread by sending out winged members.
Answer: Option D

Explanation:
Adaption or adaptive trait is a trait posses by an organism that play a functional role in its current environment as a result of natural selection. These traits help organisms to meet their basic needs and survive in their environment. Organisms body part undergoes changes like coloring, physical appearance and many more make organisms to have reproductive advantages.
Answer: b. It only arrest growth of vegetative cells
Explanation: An antimicrobial agent is a substance that kills o control the growth of microorganisms, for humans this is very important in medicine or agriculture among others.
This agent should act quickly and being stable that help it to make it cheaper, also should not harm humans or other host of the microbial organisms.
The agent is not useful if only kills vegetative cells because it is not preventing the reproduction of the organism specially in fungi which use sexual reproduction as a backup for asexual cell division, so they will keep spreading across the host.
Meiosis produces 4 haploid cells. hope this helps!
