Answer:

The reason is the development of KDR genes and GSTe2 genes through mutation.

Explanation:

The development of these genes result in metabolic and target resistances.

Note that, the metabolic resistance changes in a mosquito systems brings about more rapid detoxication of the insecticide than normal,preventing it from reaching the target site.

The target site resistance also happen by mutation. This prevent the insecticide from binding to the intended target site of the receptor, making the insect unaffected.

Brilliant_brown [7]

The role of deep fascia in compartmentalizing the segments of the limbs is to transmits the load between bones and intermuscular septa.

These compartment are known as osteofascial compartment, these compartment forms by the fascia that enables the means of containing and separating the groups of muscles into relatively well defined spaces that are compartment.

The deep fascia helps to support and protect muscles and other soft tissue structure. Also it provide a barrier against the infection from one skin to another. The fascia is a structure of connective tissue that surrounds muscles, groups of vessels and nerves.

Which option correctly identifies the number of chromosomes in the cells at each point?
kodGreya [7K]
Option (A) identifies them correctly.


During Meosis 2 daughter cells are formed from a single cell and the chromosomes are equally divided in both the cells.

So, Cell P had 60 chromosome, after miosis 2 daughter cells of each having 30 chromosomes formed, and again after Miosis of from each of those 2 those daughter cells, 2 more daughter cells are formed with equal naumber of chtomosome which equals 15.
