Many years ago, head lice was easily treated with pyrethrum based pesticides. Pyrethrums are commonly found in products such as

Rid that can be purchased at local markets. They are currently the top choice for lice infestations. Pyrethrums are especially useful to us because they generally have a stronger effect on bugs than on humans and animals.
Some head lice had mutations in their genetic code which allowed them to survive the chemical pesticide and they produced chemically resistant offspring. How can this be explained?

Question 26 options:

Random mutations happen and those with a pesticide resistant mutation survived to reproduce.


Head lice chose other bugs to partner with who had no mutations.


Mutations were planned out by the bugs.


Head lice chose other bugs to partner with who had the pesticide resistant mutation.

Mazyrski [523]

The answer is true. During translation of mRNA, the nucleotides are read by the translation unit (ribosome and trna) in sequences of three (3). These sequences are referred to as codons. Codons code for amino acids. Some codons are start of stop codons meaning they initiate or terminate translation. Additionally, more that one codon could code for one amino acid.

When lions prey on a herd of antelope, some antelope are killed and some escape. Which part of Darwin’s concept of natural selec
Rufina [12.5K]

According to Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection, each generation produces more individuals than the ecosystem can sustain. However, not all individuals are identical and phenotypical variation exists.

Due to this variation, some antelopes are better at escaping lions, perhaps due to speed and/or stamina. Thus, the individuals that are slower and thus less fit will be killed and eliminated from the herd. The antelopes with heritable traits that makes them better suited to the environment, will escape and thus, survive and reproduce.

In Darwin's Theory predation is an evolutionary force.
