A species of parasitic fly follows the sounds that male crickets make with their wings. The flies deposit their larvae in the crickets' bodies. As the
larvae develop and emerge from the crickets' bodies, the crickets die.
Researchers have discovered a genetic mutation in some crickets that
changes their wing structure and makes them silent. The crickets with
silent wings are found among crickets with normal wings when it is time to
mate. According to evolution by natural selection, which of the following is
the selective pressure that is selecting for the silent wings?*

explanation:

cells use diffusion to get substances in and out of themselves. that diffusion will occur across the cell membrane or the outer covering of the cell. because we are talking about the surface of the cell, surface area and volume are  important factors here. as a cell increases in size, its surface area and volume increase as well.  we call that the surface area to volume ratio (sa: vol).  but the catch is that  volume increases at a greater rate than surface  area. in other words, as a cell gets bigger, the sa: vol gets smaller. so a really small cell like bacteria is mostly cell membrane (surface) with very little contents (volume). a really big cell like an egg, is mostly insides with a super thin membrane. so what ends up happening is that the cell cannot efficiently diffuse all of the stuff it needs in/out to survive. therefore cell size is limited to about 100mm. so how do we make organisms bigger than 100mm? cells divide! by dividing and becoming multicellular, organisms are able to grow!   check out the diagrams i attached to see the effect of sa: vol. i hope this ! good luck!
