Over time insects have become resistant to insecticides. Which process explains how insecticide resistance developed? A. natural selection B. extinction C. biological inheritance D. speciation
ok thanks its d
Resistance in insects develops when the same insecticide (or class of insecticides) is used against a pest population over and over again. Some insects will survive the same dose that kills their friends. Those that survive pass on that survival trait to their offspring. The survival trait can be a learned avoidance of the insecticide, or development of a thicker shell, or a change in the way the insect metabolizes the insecticide.
