Answer:

(2) acting as natural selecting agent

Explanation:

<em>Compounds like the pesticide DDT may bring about the evolution of new strains of organisms by </em><em><u>acting as a natural selecting agent.</u></em>

Evolution is generally defined as a gradual change to the characteristics of organisms over a period of time.

<u>When DDT is used on a particular population of pest, those that are weak within the population die off, leaving only those that are strong within the population to survive and multiply. The DDT acts a selecting agent for the survival gene in the pest and the survived gene eventually evolve into a new, DDT-resistant strain pest in no time.</u>

The correct option is option (2).

What enzyme or function is being affected in mutant (a), causing many mismatched base pairs?
igor_vitrenko [27]
DNA polymerase is the enzyme that is responsible for adding correct nucleotide pairs to new and growing DNA strands. Mismatched base pair errors will occur if this enzymes is not able to function optimally. There are other system that work DNA polymerase, these are proof reading system and mismatch repair system. Less than optimum function of these system will lead to uncorrected mismatched base pairs.
