Explanation:

viruses are very small -- 100 times smaller than the average bacterium, so small that they can't be seen with an ordinary microscope. Viruses can only exert influence by invading a cell, because they're not cellular structures. They lack the ability to replicate on their own, so viruses are merely tiny packets of DNA or RNA genes enfolded in a protein coating, on the hunt for a cell they can dominate.

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

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Random mutations led to evolution of pesticide resistance genes in bed bugs.

Explanation:

Random mutations in genome of bed bug imparted them the pesticide resistance. Since the bed bugs having the mutation of pesticide resistance were able to survive under presence of pesticides, this variation was favored by natural selection. The bugs with pesticide resistance transmitted this trait to their progeny. In time, the bed bug population consisted of most of the bugs having the pesticide resistance.

The distribution of melanosomes in cells is tightly regulated in animals that rapidly change color. dark-colored cells have mela

kipiarov [429]

Microtubules originate on the centre of the cell taking the positive end to the periphery of the cell, while the negative end remains turned to the centre of the cell. The melanosomes move along these microtubules using motor proteins desiganted kinesins and dyneins. The kinesins are responsible for moving the melanosomes to the positive end of the microtubule (periphery of the cell) generating dark-colored cells, whereas dyneins move the melanosomes to the negative end of the microtubule (centre of the cell) generating light-colored cells.
