Explain briefly how the principle of natural selection can be applied to the development of resistance in mosquitoes for DDT. |
Answer» When DDT was used for the first time, maximum mosquitoes died but few survived due to variation in the population. These mosquitoes showed resistance to DDT and survived to reproduce successfully in the presence of DDT and gradually such mosquito population became DDT resistant due to natural selection. |
