Evolution Review
A farmer sprayed his fields with a new insecticide to
rid his crops of grasshoppers. Twenty-four hours
later nearly all the grasshoppers were dead. A few,
however, survived. Each year he continues to
spray his fields with the insecticide, but fewer and
fewer of the grasshoppers die. Which of the
following best explains the results?
A. The insecticide caused a mutation in the species.
B. The grasshoppers learned to fight off the insecticide.
C. The insecticide caused a side effect of immunity that
was passed on to the next generation of grasshoppers.
D. A few grasshoppers in the first population were immune
and passed this trait to their offspring.
