Scientist have inserted a gene that codes for a protein that codes for immunity from a common pesticide (a chemical that kills c

ommonly problematic invertebrates) into a population of grasshoppers. The gene was initially found in some pesticide resistant cockroaches and was then inserted into the grasshopper population. Which of the statements below best explains the impact of inserting the gene for pesticide immunity into the grasshopper population? Group of answer choices The population of grasshoppers will be able to be sprayed with the pesticide and remain unaffected. The grasshoppers will learn to feed in areas where no pesticides are being used. The grasshopper population will be more likely to survive a drought. The grasshoppers will use more energy to resist the pesticide which will cause a decline in their population.

Answer:

A. The population of grasshoppers will be able to be sprayed with the pesticide and remain unaffected.

Explanation:

As mentioned in the question statement, scientist inserted a gene in a grasshopper population that encodes for immunity against a pesticide. Therefore, the grasshopper population would be able to survive well despite the pesticide is being sprayed. Principally, pesticide spray can kill the invertebrates such as grasshoppers. However, when the grasshopper has a gene that encodes for a protein that gives immunity against the pesticide, the effect of spray will be minimized. They will produce the immunity protein and this protein will help them survive in toxic conditions.

Other options are incorrect because:

  • There is no need of training the grasshoppers to learn how to feed in areas where no pesticides are being used. In fact, insertion of gene that encodes for immunity would not help the grasshoper to get trained against the pesticide, rather, it will help providing immunity directly in the presence of pesticide.
  • The gene provides immunity and has nothing to do against drought.
  • It is not mentioned anywhere that gene is responsible for energy production and resistence against pesticide. Rather it is a gene that produces an immunity related protein.

Causing respiratory rate to
lesya [120]

Answer:

A) Decreases;increase

Explanation:

When there are high levels of carbon dioxide in the respiratory system, the blood pH level decreases, causing respiratory rate to increase.

This condition is acidosis because not enough CO2 escapes lungs hence CO2 accumulates and decreases pH of blood, making it more acidic. As blood pH drops (becomes more acidic), the parts of the brain that regulate breathing are stimulated to produce faster and deeper breathing to increase the amount of carbon dioxide exhaled to bring our body to the ideal pH.

What happens when half of the earth is facing the sun
dmitriy555 [2]

When half of the earth is facing the sun we have daylight.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The earth rotates about its in every 24 hours.  When the earth's one of the sides faces the sun, then days occurs. When the side of the earth is far away from the sun, then night occurs. The earth rotates in an anticlockwise direction when we view form the north pole. The daylight sweeps the darkness from east direction to that of the west across the world.

All planes have day and night times because they all rotate about their axis. The day and night cycle time or the length differs for each planet. this is because the speed in which they rotate differs. The planet mars has the same day and night cycle length as earth.

andreev551 [17]

<span>The correct answer is: True.</span>

 

Catabolism together with anabolism is a part of metabolism. It is the set of metabolic pathways in which the molecules are broken down into smaller units and the energy is released. Released energy of catabolism (in a form of ATP) is used for the maintenance and growth of cells. Examples of catabolic processes are glycolysis, the citric acid cycle or degradation of macromolecules: proteins into amino acids, lipids into free fatty acids...
