Extracted text: If the mechanism of resistance to permethrin in a species of mosquito is detoxification by an enzyme, and you inhibit that enzyme in that mosquito, which of the following is true? It will take less time to kill 50% of mosquitoes in that group than in a control group that has not had its enzyme inhibited. It will take more time to kill 50% of mosquitoes in that group than in a control group that has not had its enzyme inhibited. The population resistant to permethrin will also be resistant to DDT, so blocking the detoxification enzyme and then exposing a test group to DDT will result in the same time to kill 50% of the test population. It will take less time to kill 50% of mosquitoes in that group than in a control group where the enzymé had not even evolved. The population resistant to permethrin will also be resistant to DDT and the time to kill 50% of the test population when exposed to DDT or permethrin will be the same, regardless of whether the detoxification enzyme is blocked or not.
