22. A farmer uses triazine herbicide to control pigweed in his field. For the first few years, the triazine works well and almost all the pigweed dies； but after several years, the farmer sees more and more pigweed. Which of these explanations best explains what happened? (A) The herbicide company lost its triazine formula and started selling poor-quality triazine. (B) Natural selection caused the pigweed to mutate, creating a new triazine-resistant species. (C) Triazine-resistant pigweed has less-efficient photosynthesis metabolism. (D) Triazine-resistant weeds were more likely to survive and reproduce.

23. Mutation is the only evolutionary mechanism that  ________.(A) does little to change allele frequencies (B) is more important in eukaryotes than in prokaryotes (C) happens in all populations (D) has no effect on genetic variation

28. Dinoflagellates  ________.(A) possess two flagella (B) are all autotrophic (C) lack mitochondria (D) include species that cause malaria

29. Most moss gametophytes do not have a cuticle and are 1-2 cells thick. What does this imply about moss gametophytes and their structure? (A) They use stomata for gas exchange regulation. (B) They can easily lose water to, and absorb water from, the atmosphere. (C) Photosynthesis occurs throughout the entire gametophyte surface. (D) They have branching veins in their leaves.

30. In examining an unknown animal species during its embryonic development, how can you be sure what you are looking at is a protostome and not a deuterostome?
