Mosquitoes are carriers of several diseases that can infect humans. In the p the insecticide DDT was heavily used to control mosquito populations in orde reduce instances of disease transmission. However, after some time, mosqui populations developed a resistance to DDT. Based on what you've learned at natural selection, in 3-5 sentences, describe how mosquitoes may have com develop this resistance.
Mosquitoes may have developed resistance to DDT through natural selection. The mosquitoes that had a genetic variation that allowed them to survive exposure to the insecticide were more likely to reproduce and pass on their resistance to their offspring. Over time, this led to a population of mosquitoes with a higher proportion of individuals resistant to DDT. This is an example of how natural selection can lead to the evolution of populations over time.
