See the course syllabus for information on format. One question is due during each lab period as noted on the syllabus. Describe how pesticide resistance evolves in a population of weevils that is exposed to pesticides. Finally, explain how the concepts of fitness and adaptation are relevant to this situation. MM individuals have 100 stripes, MF individuals have 75 stripes, and FF individuals have 50 stripes.
Stripe number has no effect on survival or reproduction of the weevils.
The proportion of FF individuals in the population is 0.09. Round to two significant figures. Two alleles at a gene affect pesticide resistance in a weevil. Round to two significant figures. State two apsects of this statement that are evolutionarily incorrect and clearly explain why each is incorrect.
