A man treated his home with a pesticide that
kills roaches. The first application of the
pesticide killed 92% of the roaches. Two
months later he applied the pesticide to his
home again, but the second application killed
only 65% of the roaches. What would best
explain the decrease in the effectiveness of the
pesticide?
–
–
–
–
The pesticide is effective only against mature roaches.
Once roaches learned how to fight the pesticide, they
taught others.
The surviving roaches were naturally resistant to the
pesticide, and that resistance was inherited by their
offspring.
The pesticide caused some of the roaches’ digestive systems
to mutate and metabolize the pesticide.
