  1. A gene mutation resulting in insecticide resistance would most likely increase in the bed bug population because
    (1) more bed bugs will need to be
    resistant to the insecticide
    (2) the insecticide-resistant bed bugs will survive and reproduce
    (3) the bed bugs with the resistance gene will reproduce asexually
    (4) spraying an insecticide will allow more bed bugs without mutations to survive

Verified Answer :

Final answer:

Insecticide resistance in bed bugs increases through survival and reproduction of resistant individuals.


Explanation:

Insecticide resistance in bed bugs is likely to increase in the population because the insecticide-resistant bed bugs will survive and reproduce, passing on the resistance gene to their offspring. This continuous selection pressure leads to a higher proportion of resistant bed bugs over time.
