Question

which statement best describes how only a few resistant individuals resulted in the pesticide becoming ineffective?

1. f the resistant insects change the toxin on the plants, making it safe for others.

g the resistant insects grow larger and eat less of the plants.
h the resistant insects eat the contaminated surface and leave the rest for others.
j the resistant insects are able to survive to reproduce and create a population that is also resistant.

Explanation:

La resistencia a los pesticidas se desarrolla a través de la selección natural. Los insectos resistentes sobreviven al tratamiento con pesticida y se reproducen, transmitiendo su resistencia a la próxima generación. Con el tiempo, la población de insectos se vuelve más resistente al pesticida, lo que lo hace inefectivo.

Answer:

J. The resistant insects are able to survive to reproduce and create a population that is also resistant.
