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).

EastWind [94]
Rods and cones are similar in that they both release glutamate as the primary neurotransmitter. During signalling the rod and cone photoreceptors signal their absorption of photons via a decrease in the release of the neurotransmitter glutamate to bipolar cells at its axon terminal. Every rod and cone photoreceptor release the same neurotransmitter, glutamate.

Explain how deep water currents affect the number of organisms found in the area by circulating nutrients.
MariettaO [177]
Deep water currents affect the number of organisms found in the area by circulating nutrients due to upwelling. Upwelling is a process where cold water surfaces and encourages nutrients to the surface. When exposed to sunlight, they initiate energy which keeps the flow of the ecosystem.
