An agricultural plot of land is sprayed with a very powerful insecticide to destroy harmful insects. Nevertheless, many of the same species of insects are present on the land the following year. Explain how evolution theory accounts for this phenomenon

The phenomenon is due to natural selection forces.

Natural selection

This refers to the tendency of an adaptive gene to persist and multiply in the environment.

The weak genes in the population are gradually being replaced by strong/adaptive genes. Only organisms with these adaptive genes are able to survive unfavourable changes in the environment.

When they do, they reproduce and pass the adaptive genes to future generations. Thus, new generations will emerge that are well adapted to the environmental condition.

This is why many of the insects targeted by the insecticide were found in the following year.
