Summary Introduction
To determine: The variation in
Introduction: Biological control agents are natural enemies (like predation, parasitism, and other methods) that are used to control pests (like weeds, insects, mites, nematodes and so on) in order to generate a pest-free yields. A biological control agent such as Thelohania solenopsae is a natural enemy of red imported fire ants. These microsporidians can decline the ant’s colony by infecting and shrinking the ovaries of the queen (the female, reproducing ants).

- T4arrow_forwardI have a pet amoeba. It's name is Stretch. I look at stretch every day with my microscope, feed it, play with it, etc., like any good pet owner would. But one day, I notice that Stretch is really stretching out! And a few minutes later, Stretch has turned into two. Amoebas reproduce through mitosis, where they replicate all of their internal biology, then split themselves into two, each new cell carrying everything it needs to survive. Which one is Stretch? Both? How can that be, since things are only identical to themselves? We wouldn't call identical twins the same person, even though they are very similar to one another. Are neither Stretch? One but not the other? How would we determine that? Explain whatever it is that you think is true, and back it up with some reasoning. Be sure your response is at least 300 words.
