Answer:
Mutation followed by natural selection made mosquitos resistant to DEET
Explanation:
Natural selection selects beneficial alleles, which increase their frequency in the population, resulting in adaptation. Aptitude, which is the contribution of each genotype to the next generation, increases too.
In many cases adaptations, resulting from the natural selection process can be correlated to environmental factors or selective pressures applied by other organisms or habitats.
Let us remember that, a mutation is a change or alteration in DNI sequences that introduce new variants. Many of these are eliminated, but some of them might succeed and be incorporated into each individual. These mutations are the ones that have been selected by natural selection.
So, in the exposed mosquitos´ example,
The selective pressure or modeling environmental factor is the DEET repellent.Some of the mosquitos mutated changing their behavior. The new mosquito´s response is not-detection of the repellent presence -only in those individuals carrying the mutations-. Natural selection benefits these mutations. Mosquitos survive and become more resistantProbably some of the mosquitos in the population suffered a mutation that favored them in not detecting repellent DEET. These individuals developed resistance to the chemical and were able to survive and reproduce, enhancing population sizes again. Natural selection benefited the mutation that gave them resistance.
Let us remember that the term resistance refers to an inheritable change in the population sensitivity, reflected through the consecutive failure of the chemical effects, correctly used in order to cause an effect on the insect population.
Repellents might produce a genetic modification in the insects, leading them to not detect the chemical. Insects evolve with the capability of tolerating the DEET dose that normally is used to repel mosquitos
The excessive use of DEET leads to the fixation of new genes -by natural selection- that result from mutations in the mosquito genetic material, which makes them become even more resistant to the chemical.

Explain how specialized structures found in multiflora rose support its reproduction and spreading/dispersal throughout ecosystems in the United States. Use evidence and scientific reasoning to support your response.
Answer:
Presence of thorn stems, invasive nature and strong scent of of multi rose plant.
Explanation:
The presence of thorn stems, invasive nature and strong scent of of multi rose plant are the specialized structures found in multiflora rose support its reproduction and spreading and dispersal throughout ecosystems in the United States. The presence of thorn stems prevent animals to feed on the multi rose plant while on the other hand, strong scent of of multi rose flower attract pollinators that increase its pollination and increase occur in its population.
Identify the statement that describes the imperfection of natural selection. Identify the statement that describes the imperfection of natural selection. Natural selection has not had sufficient time to create the optimal design in each case but will do so given enough time. Natural selection is generally limited to modifying structures that were present in previous generations and in previous species. In many cases, phenotype is not merely determined by genotype but by the environment as well. Though we may not consider the fit between the current skeletal arrangements and their functions excellent, we should not doubt that natural selection ultimately produces the best design.
Answer:
Variability was seen as imperfection, so natural selection could only eliminate the inferior and imperfect, not giving rise to new things, new species.
:
What happens to cause air to be exhaled from the lungs?
A)The rib muscles contract and move upward
B)The chest cavity expands and grows larger
C)The diaphragm relaxes and moves upward
D)The lungs contract and expand
Answer:
The answer is C.
Explanation:
When you breathe out or exhale, your diaphragm relaxes and moves up into your chest cavity. As the space in your chest cavity gets smaller, the air rich in carbon dioxide is forced out of your lungs and windpipe, and then out your nose or mouth.

Which of the following describes the relationship between genes and
chromosomes?
Chromosomes form into genes during cellular reproduction
Genes are special sequences of nucleic acids found on chromosomes
Every gene an organism has is found on every one of its chromosomes
All of an organism's chromosomes can be found next to its genes in the cell nucleus
Answer:
Genes are special sequences of nucleic acids found on chromosomes.
Explanation:
A single DNA molecule is a chromosome. A gene is a certain chromosome region of DNA.
All cells of the body are genetically the same, but cells are different from others because specific gene sets are expressed. Different cells, therefore express different genes, which enable them to perform a specific function.
The deoxyribonucleic (DNA) genes are segments that contain a code for a certain protein that works in one or several cell types in the body. Chromosomes are cellular structures that contain the genes of a person. Genes that are in the cellular nucleus are contained in chromosomes.

kinetic energy increasing and her potential energy
decreasing? (based on a starting point of W)
Ow
OX
z
OY
3
Oz
Х
Y
Answer:
C. Y
Explanation:
The point that the kinetic energy increasing and its potential energy decreasing is Oz.
How to measure kinetic energy?To calculate the kinetic energy of an object with mass “m” and speed “v”, we must apply the formula Ec = mv²/2, where: Ec – kinetic in joules; m – mass in kg; v – speed in m/s.
What is potential energy?Gravitational potential energy that depends on the vertical position and mass of an object.
With this information, we can conclude that The point at which the kinetic energy increases and its potential energy decreases is Oz.

Describe how the lizard population is changing
Answer:
Each time lizards colonized an island, they evolved into many of the same forms. .Other lizards adapted to life among the thin branches lower down on the trees, evolving short legs that help them hug their narrow perches. Still other lizards adapted to living in grass and shrubs, evolving long tails and slender trunks.Lizards are low on the food chain. Providing protection from their natural predators ensures their continued existence. Plant bushy perennials, create a rock or brush pile or use man-made items like stacks of bricks or pipes.

Mendel crossed yellow-seeded and green-seeded pea plants and then allowed the offspring to self-pollinate to produce an F2 generation. The results were as follows: 6,022 yellow and 2,001 green (8,023 total). Which of the following statements correctly describes the relationship of the allele for green soods to the allele for yellow seeds? A. The green allele is dominant to the yellow allele B. The two alleles exhibit incomplete dominance C. The green alicle is recessive to the yellow allele D. The two alleles are codominant
Answer:
C. The green allele is recessive to the yellow allele
Explanation:
Complete dominance occurs when one gene variant or allele referred to as the 'dominant allele' completely masks the expression of another allele referred to as the 'recessive allele' in heterozygous individuals, i.e., in individuals carrying one copy of the dominant allele and one copy of the recessive allele for a particular locus/gene (whereas homo-zygous individuals carry the same alleles for a given locus/gene). Mendel crossed pure lines of pea plants, i.e., homo-zygous lines for different traits such as seed color (yellow and green) and seed shape (round and wrinkled). In this case, the parental cross was YY x yy, where the 'Y' allele is dominant and encodes for yellow seed color, and the 'y' allele is recessive and encodes for green seed color. From this cross, Mendel obtained a hybrid F1 (i.e., all progeny was heterozygous with genotype Yy). An expected 3:1 ratio as observed in this case (6,022 yellow and 2,001 green seed >> 3:1 ratio) is characteristic of the progeny that results from mating between F1 heterozygous parents, where each parent has one dominant allele and one recessive allele, i.e., F1 parental cross: Yy x Yy >> F2: 1/4 YY (yellow color); 1/2 Yy (yellow color); 1/4 (green color) >> 3:1 ratio of yellow to green seeds.

A solar eclipse happens when --
the sun is directly between Earth and moon
the moon is in Earth's shadow.
the moon is directly between Earth and sun.
the sun blocks out light from Earth.
When the Moon passes between Sun and Earth, the lunar shadow is seen as a solar eclipse on Earth. When Earth passes directly between Sun and Moon, its shadow creates a lunar eclipse. Lunar eclipses can happen only when the Moon is opposite the Sun in the sky, a monthly occurrence we know as a full Moon.

What do hypothesis, theories, and laws have in common ?
what is photosynthesis
Answer:
please tell me you know, my hands are literally shaking at how easy this question is
Explanation:
the answer is photosynthesis is a way for plants to make oxygen
still not enough information? they convert carbon-dioxide and water into oxygen and sugar, so they eat the sugar making their own food, put plants are living if they eat sugar. so they also have cellular respiration from mitochindria (photosynthesis is from chloroplasts and chrolophyll inside the chloroplast) and plants BREATH OUT SOME CARBON-DIOXIDE and produce more Oxygen than carbon-dioxide, thus providing the earth with Oxygen
