A large population of the house flies was sprayed with a newly developed fast-acting insecticide the appearance of some house flies that are resistant to this insecticide supports the concept that?

there is genetic variation within the house fly population. The resistant house flies were able to survive the insecticide because they carried genes that made them immune to its effects. Over time, if these resistant house flies survive and reproduce, the overall population may become more resistant to the insecticide.


Does salt effectively kill insects?

Salt can be an effective insecticide, as it can dehydrate and kill insects by absorbing moisture from their bodies. However, the effectiveness of salt as an insecticide may vary depending on the type of insect and the concentration of salt used.


What is the procedure in making insecticide out of tuba-tuba plant?

To make insecticide from the tuba-tuba plant, you can crush the leaves and stems of the plant to extract the juice. Mix this juice with water and a small amount of soap (to help the mixture stick to the insects) to create a natural insecticide spray. This mixture can be used to repel or kill insects on plants.

What is made with recombinant DNA technology and helps farmers use less insecticide?

Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) crops are made using recombinant DNA technology, and they produce a protein toxic to certain insect pests. When insects feed on these crops, they ingest the Bt protein, leading to their death. This technology reduces the need for insecticide sprays on crops, providing a more environmentally friendly approach to pest control for farmers.
