d. They can be concentrated in an organism’s fat tissues.

This is referred to as biomagnification -- the POPs become more concentrated as they move from one animal to another. This is a main concern because even trace amounts, in animals at the bottom of the food chain, can cause toxicity to animals at the top of the food chain.

A. What color do you want your insects to be?
Scrat [10]
Well, in terms of the science of artificial selection, mutations will be useful in achieving your goal as a genetic mutation that happens often in insects, particularly fruit flies, is a change of color. A strategy that could be used would be a Punnet square to simulate the possible crosses between the insects and which is most likely to bring out the recessive gene (the desired color). Finally, the breeding of dogs can be explained by humans breeding tall dogs with other tall dogs to ensure that the outcome would most likely be another recessive gene (tallness) and a similar set of events would explain the Pomeranian (short dogs being breed with other short dogs)  <span />
