Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The Correct answer is D. A number of genetically resistant pesticide survivors reproduce. The next generation of insects contains more genes from the survivors than it does from susceptible individuals.
Detailed explanation-2: -According to Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection, organisms that possess heritable traits that enable them to better adapt to their environment compared with other members of their species will be more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass more of their genes on to the next generation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Today, scientists can compare their DNA. Similar DNA sequences are the strongest evidence for evolution from a common ancestor.
Detailed explanation-4: -Evolution is defined as the change in the inherited traits of a population of organisms through successive generations. When living organisms reproduce, they pass on to their progeny a collection of traits.
