Ironically, from being exposed to the pesticide for a long period of time. Given a long enough timeframe, a insect species will evolve a natural resistance to a chemical through natural selection.
Insects quickly develop resistance to insecticides due to natural evolution. As their bodies are exposed to the chemicals, small changes are made until it no longer affects them over many generations.
some insects will have an adaptation that helps them survive and that they pass onto their offspring.
the insect population changes to include more and more resistant members
Answer:
This is evelution in action.
If the insects are exposed to a pesticide that only kills some of them, the only future generations come from resistant parents. If the application if pesticide continues, it weeds out non resistant individuals enhancing the resistence of subsequent generations.

∙ 14y agoAnimals can remove them from their bodies by breaking down in their lived and excreting them. They can also be broken down with the soil. These new compounds operate like nerve gases, which act by preventing electrical messages from travelling from the bairn to the muscles that control breathing or the limb. This either animal directly or makes it vulnerable to predators.

∙ 13y agoThe pesticide has killed off the insects that were sensitive to the pesticide and the only suvivors were the ones that had some type of resistance to it. So the resistant strand of insects breeded and passed on that resistant gene to their offspring. Making the new generation of insects resistant to the pesicide. This is true with illness causing bacterias as well. The antibiotics are becoming less affective due to the resistant bacterias surviving and reproducing, again making the next generation of bacterias resistant to the antibiotics.

∙ 14y agoMore thanlikely it is because insects typically have short generation times (time from one generation to another); and they can usually produce significantly more offspring than humans can. The combination results in a very rapid turnover in the population allowing natural selection to favor more resilient individuals in the insect population.

∙ 14y agoDue to mutations and random assortment of chromosomes, some insects have a better resistance to pesticides. These insects will live while the non-resistant insects will die. In the next generation, all the insects that have lived will be pesticide resistant.

∙ 12y agoMost insects get used to pesticides after their older generations have died because of pesticides so the younger ones end up have those same strands of DNA that contain a tint of pesticides. So they have no symptoms.

∙ 7y agoThat the arthropods in question can become immune to the active ingredients in pest-killers explains the statement that pesticides create pesticide resistance in insects. The classic example relates to the use of dichlorophenyltrichloroethane (DDT) in the 1940s. Research shows a sharp drop in insect casualties as early as 1947 due to the arthropod in question's ability to adapt and develop defensive mechanisms and pesticide-resistant immunities.

What traits do penguins have that helps them with there survive in or adapt to its environment?
they have a oil on their fur or blubber so they are warm and can adapt to weather quickly
Why do meat eating plants trap insects because they cannot make their own food?
they trap and digest insects because they need to survive so they eat insects and so that us people dont get bitten by so many insects .
Are earthworms animals or insects?
Earthworms belong are Annelids which belong to the Kingdom Animalia so technically they are animals. Insects are also animals (Animalia). But no, earthworms are not insects.
Should pesticides be used to help produce more food for humans at the expense of other animals?
Pesticides effect food webs because when there on a plant a plant eater will eat it and when the predator of the pray eats the plant eater it then will have a chance of dying because of the pesticides inside its prey. Then something Will eat the animal wit the pesticides in it then will affect hat animal. and so on! for example;A Rabbit could eat a lettuce and their could be pesticides in it the a fox will eat the rabbit and the has a chance of dying etc I hope this has helped ;)
Are all arthropods insects?
No. Arthropoda is a phylum, containing the classes Insecta, Arachnida, Crustacea and Myriapoda - insects, arachnids, crustaceans and centi/millipedes. So all insects are arthropods but not all arthropods are insects. ^^
Why do we spray pesticides on crops?
So insects won't eat the crops.
What is an example sentence for pesticides?
An example sentence for pesticides would be...I watched the farmer put pesticides on his plants so it would kill insectsOr something like that!Don't pesticides kill insects?
Why don't rattlesnakes adapt to their environment?
Rattlesnakes do adapt to their environment. If they did not do so they would quickly die.
What organisms will be affected if small insects and crickets and earthworms are killed by pesticides?
Robins are the organisms that would be most affected if pesticides killed crickets, earthworms and small insects. These are the robins' only food sources, so the robins' survival depends on their abundance.
What traits do penguins have that helps them with there survive in or adapt to its environment?
they have a oil on their fur or blubber so they are warm and can adapt to weather quickly
What adaptation do insects have?
I am not sure what you mean. Insects adapt to their environment in a variety of ways. Some adapt by their coloration-- for example, certain insects, like the walking stick, are brownish in color so they can blend in with trees and not be seen by predators. Other insects like ladybugs adapt by how they taste; because ladybugs are bitter-tasting, predators that see them often do not want to eat them. Other insects adapt to their environment with the ability to trap prey despite being small in size (like spiders trapping prey with a slender and very sticky web).
Why are insect so numerous?
There has been debate on why insects are so successful in nature mostly it starts with how they are able to adapt so quickly and several evolutionary traits.For one insects evolved to have an exoskeleton and tendons and muscles are fused directly to this outside skeleton and enables them to move quickly and nimbly, to dodge predators and catch prey. So more insects are able to survive to mate and reproduce to create another generation of insects.Another main reason is that insects have a very short reproductive cycle, it takes very little time for another generation of insects to be born and grow into adult hood. Also many insects can reproduce asexually (without the need for male sperm) which can lead to a large amount of insects in a short period of time.
How do you stop bedbugs?
if you put a mattress cover on your bed, they can't chew through that so you will stop getting bit. but if you are spraying them with pesticides they will just adapt to them so it wont do any good!
Are insects considered wildlife?
Yes, insects are part of the Kingdom, Animalia.
What does non-organization mean?
Non organic fruit is fruit that has been grown using pesticides, which are used for keeping away insects that will try to eat the fruit. Organic fruit is fruit that has been grown without any harmful pesticides. Organic fruit is much better and healthier to eat than non organic fruit, as pesticides are often absorbed into the fruit and this can harm you, so eat organic fruit without any pesticides in it. Ladybirds will usually eat insects that try to snack on organic fruit, hedgehogs will eat slugs and snails etc. etc.
Why dont the vibrissae of nocturnal animals adapt rapidly?
The vibrissae or whiskers of a nocturnal animal don't need to adapt quickly. They work fine the way they are, helping nocturnal animals navigate and find food in the dark, so there is little need for them to adapt.
What are some advantages of unicellular?
If you are unicellular you will be able to reproduce very quickly, thereby making more of your type of cells quickly. Another advantage to being unicellular is that unicellular organisms live a short life, so they are able to adapt very quickly, verses a multi-cellular organism that could take hundreds of years to adapt.
