A population of mosquitoes is exposed to the pesticide DDT for several generations. At the end of that time, most individuals in

the population are resistant to DDT. The most likely reason is that:
A. random mutations in each generation made mosquitoes resistant to DDT.
B. some individuals in the original population had the mutations that led to resistance.
C. DDT caused the mutations that led to resistance.
D. somatic mutations in the original population were passed on to subsequent generations.
E. by chance, new mutations that led to DDT resistance arose after DDT was used.

Degger [83]
Hey my friend did this one on Answer.com 
<span>
Whenever Mendel performed a cross with pea plants, he carefully categorized and counted the many offspring. Every time Mendel repeated a particular cross, obtained similar results. For example, whenever Mendel crossed two plants that were hybrid for stem height (Tt), about three fourths of the resulting plants were tall and about one fourth were short. Mendel realized that the principles of probability could be used to explain the results of genetic crosses.</span>

If a plant were to absorb a substance that readily reacts with carbon dioxide in the stroma, the dark reactions would be most li
Assoli18 [71]
The right answer is the dark reaction would stop happening.
The Calvin cycle (or dark reactions, independent of the sunlight) makes it possible to manufacture glucose, an energy molecule, from carbon dioxide. This is called carbon fixation.There are three reactions of this cycle take place in the stroma of chloroplasts: the first of which is the fixation of carbon dioxide. which is a limiting step in this cycle.If a substance other than the components of the dark reactions absorbs and uses carbon dioxide, the carbon cycle will not be able to occur for lack of one of these ingredients which is the CO2.

The equation shows cellular respiration. During cellular respiration, glucose combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide, water
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer;

-During the process of cellular respiration, the energy stored in glucose is transferred to ATP.

Explanation;

-During Cellular Respiration, sugar is broken down to CO2 and H2O, and in the process, ATP is made that can then be used for cellular work.

-During this process, the energy stored in glucose is transferred to ATP. Energy is stored in the bonds between the phosphate groups (PO4-) of the ATP molecule.

-Energy is then  liberated from the ATP molecule to do work in the cell by a reaction that removes one of the phosphate-oxygen groups, leaving adenosine diphosphate (ADP). When the ATP converts to ADP, the ATP is said to be spent.
