Re-read the excerpt from paragraph 2 below:
The farmers release beneficial insects, such as ladybugs, to feed on harmful insects. They also interfere
with the reproduction of harmful insects by releasing sterile male insects.
What does sterile mean as it is used in this paragraph?
A
dead
B
not of the same species
С
unable to produce offspring
D
completely clean

Respuesta :

Answer: C - Unable to produce Offsprings

Explanation: The sterile males compete with wild males to mate with the females. Females that mate with a sterile male produce no offspring, thus reducing the next generation's population. Sterile insects are not self-replicating and, therefore, cannot become established in the environment.
