Flesh-eating parasitizing maggots are the offspring of the fly, ormia ochracea, which invaded hawaii from north america. the adult flies follow the chirps of a calling cricket and then deposit wriggling maggots onto the cricket's back. the maggots burrow into the cricket, and emerge, a week later, killing the cricket in the process. between 1991 and 2001, there were documented major declines in the island's cricket population. in one study, 30% of calling males were infested with the parasite, and in 2001, the island was virtually silent. but in 2003, the cricket population had rebounded. crickets were back but they were silent crickets! what is the best explanation of how this happened?

Evolution and natural selection.

Explanation:

The Cricket evolved with wings that made no sound. This protected them from getting eaten by flesh eating parasite maggots. As they were attracted by the chirping of cricket.

The mutant species of cricket male now produced no sound while rubbing the wings together which protected them from being killed by maggots.

The naturally selected mutant cricket saved them self by evolution and natural selection.

each of the 46 original chromosomes splits into two daughter chromosomes, so there are two sets of 46 daughter chromosomes that end up in each cell. human cells have 46 chromosomes. each chromosome consists of a pair of identical chromatids attached together by a structure called a centromere.

the solute can move "downhill," from regions of higher to lower concentration, relying on the specificity of the protein carrier to pass through the membrane. this process is called passive transport or facilitated diffusion, and does not require energy.
