Bio Test 3 (Part 4) explores evolutionary biology, focusing on natural selection, sexual dimorphism, and resistance mechanisms in species. It assesses understanding of evolutionary concepts crucial for students of biology.

Mutated when exposed to the pesticide.
Inherited genes that made it resistant to the pesticide.
Provides an example of pest resurgence.
None of these.
