Mosquitoes in tropical regions can carry and transmit the malaria parasite to humans. The mosquitoes used to be killed in these

regions by spraying them with the insecticide DDT. The mosquitoes that were earlier sensitive to DDT are now not killed by DDT and grow and multiply even in the presence of DDT. How can you explain this phenomenon?
Select one of the options below as your answer:


A.
All of the mosquitoes must have undergone a mutation for DDT resistance and produced similar kind of resistant offspring, which evolved into a DDT resistant population.


B.
Some of the
mosquitoes must have undergone a mutation for DDT resistance and produced similar kind of resistant offspring, which would have been selected by nature.


C.
All of the mosquitoes must have slowly increased their tolerance level to DDT and ultimately would have become completely resistant to DDT.

NAIL IN FOOT:
If your foot wound is bleeding from the nail, put a towel over it to stop the bleeding. Then use water to clean the wound. If you have any antibiotic cream, apply that and cover your wound with either bandages or some old pieces of clothes.

SWOLLEN TOE:
Raise and rest your foot with the swollen toe when you can. Put some ice wrapped in a towel on the toe for up to 20 minutes every 2 to 3 hours. Take a paracetamol if you can. Do not walk or stand for long period of times if it hurts a lot.
hope this helps and i hope you get better soon!

correct answer. Which of the following risk factors has the most immediate impact on a person's health?
ivann1987 [24]
It all depends on what you truly think.....

But smoking cigarettes can cause lung diseases such as COPD, Emphysema and chronic bronchitis. You can also get lung cancer or if you have asthma you can have attacks, more attacks or worse ones. Could happen right away or take time, depending on the person and situation, how much you smoke, what you smoke,how long,your age,history

Not wearing a seatbelt while driving can result in you getting in an even worse car accident than if you were wearing one, you can get thrown from the car. Happens right away

Eating too much junk food may result in weight gain and higher risk of illnesses such as obesity. This can happen right away or overtime, depending on the person and situation, how long you do this, your age,height & history

Not exercising for atleast 30mins. per day can take time for you to gain weight, get sick easier and have a shorter lifespan or quickly, depends on the situation & person, how long they've been not doing this, how old they are, how active they are or were

It's your choice but I would say not wearing a seatbelt while driving
