You are studying leaf size in a natural population of plants. The second season is particularly dry, and the following year the average leaf size in the population is smaller than the year before.

A city was intensively sprayed with DDT to control houseflies. The number of houseflies was immediately greatly reduced.

Which of the following most likely explains this? a. Flies from other areas moved in and replaced the ones killed by DDT. b. The few flies that were affected by DDT but survived developed antibodies to DDT which they passed on to their descendants. c.
