Explain why the mosquito's offspring have resistance to the chemical and whether the effect of the mutation is beneficial, neutral, or harmful to the mosquitoes.

When a species of mosquito or insect is resistant to any chemical, it is good for the species of the mosquito because it does not kill it, but if it seeks to combat it in crops or in human environments it is dangerous.

Explanation:

Whenever a mosquito or a species is resistant to a chemical, it means that it has an adaptation mechanism so as not to die, as it did before, against that chemical.

mosquito's offspring have resistance to the chemical due to mutation in the GSTe2 gene which is passed down to the offspring, which makes insects break down chemical so it’s no longer toxic. It has also shown that this gene makes insects resistant to pyrethroids raising the concern that GSTe2 gene could protect mosquitoes against the major insecticides used in public health making this mutation beneficial to the mosquitoes.This means that the mosquito can survive by breaking down the poison into non-toxic substances.

Explanation:

A mutation is a change in DNA, the hereditary material of life.

Harmful mutations may cause genetic disorders or can be cancerous, while neutral mutations are changes in DNA sequence that are neither beneficial nor detrimental to the ability of an organism to survive and reproduce.

calledbeneficial mutations. Beneficial mutation in the other hand, lead to new versions of proteins that help organisms adapt to changes in their environment. This is the case of the mosquito offspring and there resistance to chemicals.
