Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cluster of bollworms at lower larva weights would have the Rr genotype. This is because the R allele is dominant for resistance to the insecticide, and the r allele is recessive for susceptibility to the insecticide. Therefore, bollworms with the Rr genotype would have some resistance to the insecticide, but they would not be completely resistant like bollworms with the RR genotype.
