Answer:

mosquito's offspring have resistance to the chemical due to mutation in the GSTe2 gene which is passed down to the offspring, which makes insects break down chemical so it’s no longer toxic. It has also shown that this gene makes insects resistant to pyrethroids raising the concern that GSTe2 gene could protect mosquitoes against the major insecticides used in public health making this mutation beneficial to the mosquitoes.This means that the mosquito can survive by breaking down the poison into non-toxic substances.

Explanation:

A mutation is a change in DNA, the hereditary material of life.

Harmful mutations may cause genetic disorders or can be cancerous, while neutral mutations are changes in DNA sequence that are neither beneficial nor detrimental to the ability of an organism to survive and reproduce.

calledbeneficial mutations. Beneficial mutation in the other hand, lead to new versions of proteins that help organisms adapt to changes in their environment. This is the case of the mosquito offspring and there resistance to chemicals.

Answer:

When a species of mosquito or insect is resistant to any chemical, it is good for the species of the mosquito because it does not kill it, but if it seeks to combat it in crops or in human environments it is dangerous.

Explanation:

Whenever a mosquito or a species is resistant to a chemical, it means that it has an adaptation mechanism so as not to die, as it did before, against that chemical.

Human caused reductions of biodiversity, include pollution, invasive species, and overexploitation.
Andrew [12]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Development, together with globalization, drove severe changes at a global level. The natural and original environments suffered from these effects and still are.

Human beings have constantly been altering the natural ecosystems and causing irreparable damages to nature. For many decades, development involved society and technology advance over new areas unpopulated by humans.

<u>Some</u> of the principal human activities responsible for biodiversity loss are

  • the uncontrolled use of unrenewable resources,
  • overexploitation of renewable resources;
  • land destruction for the mining industry, farming and cattle industry, buildings, and other infrastructures;
  • the unplanned advance of cities, and opening of new roads to connect those cities.  

All of them involving

  • deforestation and fragmentation of natural landscapes;
  • water, air, and soil pollution,
  • species loss, and reduction of biodiversity.

With globalization, transport around the world became normal. And when traveling around the world, new species are intentionally or unintentionally transported too. When these species, of animal or vegetable origin, get established in a new area, they overgrow to the point of turning invasive.

Invasive species are uncontrollable and cause severe damage in native endemic species by competing for resources. The whole ecosystem structure changes.

But there are some background glitches in the system that are the principal responsible for all the mentioned activities. Some important aspects are lacking

  • The respect for nature,
  • People´s education at different levels to care and protect wildlife,
  • Interest in keeping ancestral knowledge,
  • Planning and previous environmental impact studies,
  • Policies to control human activities,
  • Caring involved government.

If, as a society, we lack these aspects, the possibilities of changing our impact on nature are far away.
