- 15. Multiple ChoiceA graph regarding the effect of agricultural bioengineering on insect pests is shown below How has natural selection affected species of insect pests?A. Natural selection has not affected the number of species that are resistant to pesticidesA. Natural selection has rapidly increased the number of species that are resistant to pesticidesA. Natural selection has only affected the number of species that are resistant to pesticides
- 16. Multiple ChoiceLooking at these different limbs from organisms, we can see evidence of common ancestry. Why does this provide evidence?They have the same structureThey do the same thingThey are the same sizeThey are all mammals
- 17. Multiple ChoiceEmbryology shows that we all looked identical as early developing embryos, but start to change and we begin to see specific features like lungs versus gills.
