The fruit fly drosophila melanogaster has an allele that confers resistance to ddt and similar insecticides, laboratory strains of d. melanogaster have been established from flies collected in the wild in the 1930s (before the widespread use of insecticides) and the 1960s (after 20 years of ddt use) lab strains established in the 1930s have no alleles for ddt resistance. in lab strains established in the 1960s, the frequency of the ddt-resistance allele is 37%. which statement is correct? a. resistance to ddt evolved in some fruit flies in order to allow them to survive. b. alloles for ddt resistance arose by mutation during the period of ddt use because of selection for pesticide resistance. c. the evolutionary fitness associated with the heritable trait of ddt resistance changed once ddt use became widespread.

The statement which is correct is

The evolutionary fitness associated with the heritable trait of DDT resistance changed once DDT use became widespread.

Explanation:

In the 1930's,  the usage if insecticides was minimal. Hence, the genes for DDT resistance were absent or silent in the fruit flies at that time.

In the 1960's, the DDT resistant forms of fruit fly began occurring at this rate because they were better adapted to survive. According to Darwin, the species which are better able to adapt to the environment survive and are able to reproduce. Hence, with the passage of time the resistant forms of fruit fly will keep reproducing and increase in number.

answer:

the water molecules are transferred from the roots to the stem or top parts of the tall tree because of important properties of water which are adhesion, cohesion and capillary action. cohesion is the property of water molecules keeps water molecules in a combined state by sharing of bonds between them at the atomic level. adhesion allows the interaction of water molecules with other substances or substrate. adhesion will cause the attachment of water molecules to the wall of the vessel (xylem) of the plant. capillary action occurs when the adhesive force to the vessel wall is stronger than the cohesive force between water molecules. capillary action mimics the transfer of water from a tube or pipe. in this way water utilizes its property to transfer water from down to top level of the plant.  

answer >   yes we do, women; have three holes, urethral opening(pee hole, vagina, and the women pee/girls pee out of the urethra like the men do; only they have a single opening to pee/ejaculate.   (sorry if i'm too forward with this, but this is for a biology class, isn't it? )

hope that !         : )
