eventually the whole population showed resistance to cyanide.
Which of the following statements best explains how resistance to cyanide spreadin the scale insect population?
a) Insects with a resistance gene survived the first cyanide sprayings and passed
the gene to their offspring.
b) Insects without a resistance gene underwent mutation upon contact with the
cyanide to acquire resistance,
c) Predators put greater selection pressure on insects with a resistance gene than
on insects without a resistance gene.
d) Parasites infecting the insect population carried the trait from insects with a
resistance gene to insects without a resistance gene.
