Which statement best describes the evolution of pesticide resistance in a population of insects?

#Unit 11. Evolution and Behavior
  1. Individual members of the population slowly adapt to the presence of the chemical by striving to meet the new challenge.

  2. All insects exposed to the insecticide begin to use a formerly silent gene to make a new enzyme that breaks down the insecticide molecules.

  3. Insects observe the behavior of other insects that survive pesticide application, and adjust their own behaviors to copy those of the survivors.

  4. Offspring of insects that are genetically resistant to the pesticide become more abundant as the susceptible insects die off.

In an ______________ plasmid, replication occurs in two stages. In the first stage, the double stranded circular plasmid DNA replicates to form another double-stranded circular DNA and a single-stranded circular DNA, In the second stage, the complementary strand is synthesized on the single-stranded DNA to make another double-stranded DNA.
