The statement that best describes how only a few resistant individuals resulted in the pesticide becoming ineffective is:<br /><br />J The resistant insects are able to survive to reproduce and create a population that is also resistant.<br /><br />This is because the resistant insects survive the pesticide application, reproduce, and pass on their resistance genes to their offspring. Over time, this leads to a larger population of resistant insects, making the pesticide less effective.
