Evolution. Each generation has some differences from the preceding generations. The survivors from one generation pass their genes on to subsequent generations. A trait that increases survival rate (resistance to an insectide) is passed on more frequently than a trait which is detrimental to procreation.

Humans have inadvertently promoted the evolution of insects that are resistant to insecticides by?
Insects became resistant because the insecticides were used on the continuously. Most insects will die at first, but there will be some that have the right genetics to resist that insecticide. When that happens the insect will the favorable gene reproduces and creates more insects that are resistant. Humans promoted this evolution by using the same insecticide on the insects.
What is true of all organisms?
Organisms grow and develop
What is evolution definition?
The process by which different organisms develop and diversify from earlier organisms.
When can organisms most often develop diseases?
are unable to maintain homeostasis
Why are organisms that are geographically isolated develop very differently from organisms on larger land masses?
because they r awesome baby and suck it
What are insecticide resistant organisms?
Many insects can develop a resistance, typically those that are commonly treated and breed quickly, like bedbugs, roaches, even rodents
Why does insecticide that used to work will no longer affect an insect population?
Because there are always individual insects that are stronger than the rest, and they survive to breed. Their offspring will also be strong, or resistant to the insecticide. In time all that's left is a resistant population!
What does resistant or susceptible mean?
These terms refer to antibiotic sensitivities; antibiotic resistant organisms versus antibiotic susceptible organisms.

What is insecticide poisoning?
Insecticide poisoning is exposure to a group of chemicals designed to eradicate insects that cause affected persons to develop clinical signs that can progress to death.
Within a decade of the introduction of a new insecticide nearly all of the descendants of the target pests were immune to the usual sized dose the most likely explanation for this immunity to the in?
eating the insecticide caused bugs to become resistant to it.

What do you call on the organisms that a insect killer?
The organisms which eat insects are called insectivores.

What is an antibiotype?
An antibiotype is a set of organisms which are resistant to a particular antibiotic.
Why does an insecticide that used to work well no longer affect an insect population?
An insecticide that used to work well may no longer affect an insect population if they grow resistant to it. This occurs when some individuals are able to survive, and then pass on their genes to the next generations.
