• Nitrogen

Which best explains how a species develops resistance to pesticides?

• Genetic variations allow some individuals to survive and reproduce.

• The pesticide mutates the DNA of the species, making them resistant.

• The species chooses to become resistant to survive.

• All individuals in the population become resistant at the same time.

Which characteristic distinguishes bacteria from viruses?

• Bacteria require a host to reproduce, but viruses do not.

• Bacteria do not have DNA, while viruses do.

• Bacteria can cause disease, but viruses cannot.

• Bacteria contain cells, but viruses do not.

Why do muscle cells have more mitochondria than skin cells?

• Mitochondria are only found in muscle cells.

• Skin cells do not need ATP.

• Muscle cells store more DNA.

What is the role of phospholipids in the cell membrane?

• A) They produce ATP for the cell.

• B) They make the membrane rigid and impermeable.

• B) Organisms develop new traits based on their needs.

• C) There is a natural variation of traits within a species.

• D) Organisms that are better adapted have a greater chance of survival.

What is it called when a physical barrier separates a species, leading to the formation of a new species?

• Immigration

• Divergent evolution

• Convergent evolution

• Emigration

What does the presence of homologous structures suggest about organisms?
