How do insecticides force evolution?

Widespread use of insecticides can lead to the evolution of insecticide resistance. In any population of insects there will be genetic variation ie individual insects are not identical; just like humans there are all different. Some individual insects will be more resistant to an insecticide than others. When an insecticide is used the individuals which are resistant will have a better chance of surviving. They will then pass on their resistance genes to their offspring, which will in turn have a better chance of surviving. In this way the resistance genes will spread through the population. This is an example of natural selection in action. See www.evolution.berkeley.edu/

What is the difference between systemic vessels and pulmonary vessels?

They start off the same, but by the time you're born they have begun to diverge. The systemic vessels are (self) forced to operate under a higher pressure than the pulmonary system and so develops arterioles plus thicker arterial walls.

What lawn care supplies can get rid of bugs that eat grass?

Pesticides and insecticides can eliminate pesky insects that eat grass. There are two types of insecticides: topical and systemic. Topical insecticides are sprayed or sprinkled on the grass and kill insects on contact. Systemic insecticides are chemicals that are ingested by an insect from the roots of the plant. They only kill the insect after it has eaten it. http://www.lakejemfarms.com/blog/posts/herbicides-and-pesticides-what-to-use.html


Why are systemic insecticides better than common insecticides?

They are not always better. it is dependant upon insect, application site & circumstances. That only describes mode of action. What is important is results & what is actually best for the situation considerring all factors. Answer A systemic insecticide works from within the sap of the plant so lasts longer than a contact insecticide that only kills the insects on the plant at the time. A systemic insecticide does not affect the predators of the sap suckers.

Do insecticides kill humans?

Some insecticides are just as toxic to humans as they are to insects. Typically, it just takes a larger exposure to affect a human. However, some insecticides can be toxic even in small quantities. Insecticides such as malathion or diazinon would be harmful to humans in much smaller quantities than insecticides derived from soaps or orange peels.
