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.

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

You have isolated two temperature-sensitive mutations in phage l that you suspect may be in the same gene. These phage mutants are called ts-1 and ts-2. Each mutant will form plaques at 35˚C but not at 42˚C. You cross ts-1 to ts-2 phage by coinfecting E. coli at the permissive temperature of 35˚C. When the resulting phage lysate is plated at 35˚C you count 10,000 plaques per ml of phage lysate, but when the same phage lysate is plated at 42˚C, there are only 80 plaques per ml.  
If the total size of the phage is 5 x 104 bp and the total genetic map length of the phage is 100 m.u., about how far apart are the mutations in base pairs?
