Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both herbicides and insecticides have been shown to select for natural resistance by evolution. This is because individuals in a population that are naturally resistant to the toxin are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on their resistant traits to their offspring. Over time, this can lead to an increase in the frequency of the resistant trait within the population.
