Pesticide resistance is increasing. Farmers in the US lost 7% of their crops to pests in the 1940s; over the 1980s and 1990s, the loss was 13%, despite more pesticides being used. It is estimated that 500-1000 pests have developed a resistance to pesticides. Consider
the diagram showing the evolution of pesticide resistance Select ALL of the statements that do NOT accurately describe the
mechanisms of pesticide resistance shown in the graphic
田 )
A)
Insects that are sensitive to the pesticide all die out after the first
application, leaving only the resistant insects in the population
B)
C)
When insects are exposed to the pesticide, some will develop a mutation
making it resistant. Only these insects survive in the next generation
The first generation has an insect with a gene responsible for resistance to
a pesticide. This allows it to survive the pesticide application and
reproduce
The insect with the pesticide resistance gene reproduces. Because these
insects are more likely to survive pesticide application, insects with this
trait become more prominent in the population
As a population of insects is exposed to a pesticide, those susceptible to
the pesticide will die out of the population, leaving those with a resistance
to survive and reproduce, becoming more common in the population

E)

Archeologists have discovered three sites showing conclusive evidence for the mastery of fire in tanzania, from a period slightly after the time that homo habilis was present in africa. these sites clearly were founded by homo erectus, the descendent species of homo habilis that migrated north, out of africa and into asia. homo erectus was known to have mastered fire, from ample evidence at sites in asia. there is no reason to attribute mastery of fire to homo ergaster, the descendent species of homo habilis that remained in africa. which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends? (a) before their migration, homo erectus occupied african territory as far south as tanzania.(b) the strain of migration provided the selective pressure motivating homo erectus‘ mastery of fire.(c) homo ergaster would not have derived as much benefit from the mastery of fire as did homo erectus.(d) homo ergaster inherited all cultural knowledge from homo habilis, a species that did not have mastery of fire.(e) homo ergaster did not occupy regions as far south as tanzania until well after the time of these three sites.
