Answer to Question 1

Student answers will vary. Seeds may have been improperly prepared and therefore
unable to germinate; or were able to germinate but were not provided with the
proper conditions to facilitate their germination.



Answer to Question 2

Without pesticides, harmful insects would cause great damage to food crops.
Biological control of insects provides a partial solution to this problem. Biological
alternatives to pesticides include strategies such as introducing sterile females into
the insect population or attracting males to traps with the scent of females
