A genetic engineering laboratory produces some insects carrying a gene for insecticide resistance By mistake , some of these genetically modified insects are released into the environment Analyze the consequences of this event There might be an uncontrollable increase in the population of these insecticide resistant insects , causing a nuisance and economic loss There might be an increase in the population of these insecticide resistant insects , which will be further useful for the experimentation There might be a decrease in the population of these insects ;
they will not be able to survive in the outside environment and will be killed immediately .*
@alphadxg
Very simple, think about it these insects are carrying a gene that have resistance, now because they have resistance and the normal population of the insects do not have resistance that means these modified insects will outgrow the normal insects because of natural selection. Answer would only be A then.
got it?
