Why do humans need more potent pesticides over time?A) because the target population soon develops a resistance to the chemical
B) because pesticide salesman need to make more money
C) because plants begin to eat the pesticides
D) because the explosive growth of the human population places increased demands on current farmers

Answers

Answer:

Why do humans need more potent pesticides over time?

because the target population soon develops a resistance to the chemical

Explanation:

Over time when pest are exposed to pesticides to much, at a point in time they will develop resistance which calls for change of pesticides application.

Answer:

A. Because the target population soon develops a resistance to the chemical

Explanation:

I believe this is the correct answer here because it would be similar to how humans develop tolerance for medicine and illicit drugs; over time, we would need more and more of the drug to achieve the same result. It is also logical. B and C are definitely not correct nor are they logical, and D is not logical either; human population growth does not influence current farmers that much, and even if it did, humans would not need a higher quality of pesticide, just a higher quantity.

If both parents do not have sickle-cell anemia, than the possibility is low.

Explanation:

If both parents have the sickle-cell trait, their offspring has a 25 percent chance of getting sickle cell anemia and a 50 percent risk of them having sickle cell trait. Meanwhile, there is also a 25 percent chance of the child not getting it at all.

If one parent has sickle cell anemia and the other has sickle cell trait, then their offspring with have a 50 percent chance of getting sickle cell anemia and a 50 percent chance of getting a sickle cell trait.

When both parents have sickle cell anemia, their child will definitely have it.  

Answer:

No, 0% chance

Explanation:

none of the parents are carriers of this disease, and are homozygous dominant to the normal red blood cells, so they will not inherit this disease
