5 SHORT ANSWER/ GRAPH ANALYSIS The image below shows insect pesticide resistance of the potato beetle 34. Add a title and label the x-axis 35. Does this graph show that the beetle is becoming more or less resistant to the chemical(s) used? Justify your answer with data from the graph (numbers or general trends) 36. What do you might have been a cause of the change in the overall trend in ?
