The "refuge" strategy proposed by Tabashnik to slow the evolution of Bt resistance relies on

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The "refuge" strategy involves both the trade-off associated with Bt resistance, where resistance might come at a cost to the pest, and the importance of gene flow between refuge (non-Bt crop areas where susceptible pests can survive) and the populations exposed to Bt crops. This gene flow allows susceptible genes to mix with resistant genes, slowing the overall development of resistance in the pest population.
