Mosquito resistance to insecticides
|
Learn how allele frequency changes rapidly in response to selective pressure in insects exposed to insecticides. Understand the trade-off between advantageous traits and their disadvantages in different environments. Study mosquito resistance to insecticides as an example of natural selection driving changes in allele frequencies.
Learn about how allele frequency can change rapidly in a population in response to selective pressure by considering how evolutionary change can occur in insects that are exposed to insecticides. This free course, Mosquito resistance to insecticides, further demonstrates how traits that are advantageous in one environment can have effects that are disadvantageous in other environments, a situation known as a trade-off.
