Answer:

A population of mosquitoes develops resistance to a pesticide

Explanation:

Evolution can be defined as the way the characteristics of a species change over several generations. This process relies on natural selection - a mechanism in which individuals that are better adapted to their environment survive and reproduce most successfully.

A population of mosquitoes developing resistance to a pesticide is an example of adaptation. This is how mosquitoes become adapted to their environment and increase their chances of survival. Eventually, most of the mosquitoes will be resistant thanks to natural selection. This is how mosquitoes evolve.

This is why the fourth option is the correct one.

If two intermediate-colored chickens together produced 100 chicks, how many would you expect to be black?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer: 25 of the chicks will be black

Explanation: Since the chickens are intermediate in colour, that is they are not black, they are heterozygous. Let B represent the allele for black colour and B represent the allele for blue colour, therefore the genotype of a chicken with an intermediate colour is Bb. A cross between two Bb chicken will produce 1 BB, 2 Bb and 1 bb chicks. 1 BB will manifest outwardly as black, 2Bb will manifest outwardly as intermediate colored while 1 bb will manifest outwardly as blue colored chicks.

Since one out of four chicks are black colored, if the two chicken produced 100 chicks, the number of chicks that will be black is 1/4 x 100 = 25. Therefore, 25 chicks out of 100 will be black.
