Answer:

This shows that over time, some insects can become "pesticide-resistant" meaning that pesticides don't affect them anymore. And this only happens every few generations. Therefore, each generation is being naturally selected and accumulating variations that make them resist the chemicals. This shows that each cockroach's genes are changing to give them variation from the rest of the population.

I hope this helps!

Do the properties of adhesion, cohesion, and surface tension behave different in salt water vs fresh water
Elanso [62]

Answer:

The water has a dipole that causes it to act like a magnet, attracting other water molecules to it. Adhesion is the attractive forces that cause water to "stick" to a surface other than its own. ...
