Answer:

a. amount of a pesticide that can be applied to a food and how much of the pesticide that is permitted to remain on the food in the marketplace.

Explanation:

Pesticides are chemical substances used to get rid of or kill pests that attack crops on farmlands. These pesticides, although help the farmer to get rid of his pest problem and likely have an increase in yield, are dangerous to human and animal health if consumed.

As set up by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), pesticide tolerance is the amount or quantity of pesticide chemical that can be applied to a food and how much of the pesticide that is permitted to remain on the food in the marketplace.

Look at the dichotomous key below. How are Anopheles mosquitoes different
Hunter-Best [27]

Explanation:

Classification systems function in order to organize a group of organisms into smaller groups according to some kind of logic. For example, the most used classifications system in biology is the phyllogenetic, which classifies living beings according to their evolutive affinity.

In the other hand, a dichotomous key is a "guide" used by biologists when they need to indentify an individual. It is organized in several steps regarding some key characteristics in order to guide you to which species/genus/family your individual belongs to. A dichotomous key never provides any kind of trustworthy phyllogenetic information, and should be understood only as a tool.
