A farmer growing potatoes notices aphids, a type of insect, feeding on the plants. An insecticide was sprayed on the plants several times over a two-year period. The graph represents samples of three different generations of insecticide-resistant and nonresistant aphids over this time period. ***The resistance gene was present in the aphid population as a result of

the need of the potatoes to become resistant to the insecticide

changes in the aphids’ local habitat by the insecticide

a recombination of the proteins in the potato cells

a random change in the aphids’ DNA sequence

The graph represents samples of three different generations of insecticide-resistant and nonresistant aphids over this time period. ***In year three, the farmer discontinued the use of the insecticide. Which statement would best predict the population in generation 4?

The nonresistant aphid would become extinct

The nonresistant aphid would become extinct

The resistant aphid would mutate to a nonresistant aphid.

The plants would be free of insect populations.

A farmer growing potatoes notices aphids, a type of insect, feeding on the plants. An insecticide was sprayed on the plants several times over a two-year period. The graph represents samples of three different generations of insecticide-resistant and nonresistant aphids over this time period. ***One negative consequence of using an insecticide is that it

selects for insecticide-resistant organisms

keeps a balance of organic compounds

encourages biodiversity in plants

gives the nonresistant aphids a survival advantage

The activity of a single-celled organism is represented in the diagram below. Which concept is best illustrated by this diagram?

The life functions performed by single-celled organisms are different from the life functions performed by complex organisms.

Single-celled organisms carry out life functions that are essential for survival.

Since single-celled organisms lack organs, they can survive only in moist environments.

Single-celled organisms contain one organelle that performs all the life functions.
