Genetic Variation
Genetic variation refers to the variation in the genome sequences between individual organisms of a species. Individual differences or population differences can both be referred to as genetic variations. It is primarily caused by mutation, but other factors such as genetic drift and sexual reproduction also play a major role.
Quantitative Genetics
Quantitative genetics is the part of genetics that deals with the continuous trait, where the expression of various genes influences the phenotypes. Thus genes are expressed together to produce a trait with continuous variability. This is unlike the classical traits or qualitative traits, where each trait is controlled by the expression of a single or very few genes to produce a discontinuous variation.
worldwide, pest insects destroy a significant portion of food crops. for each new insecticide used, insecticides resistant insects appear and lead to the development of insecticide- resistant populations.

describe the selective pressure ( driver of selection) in the example above and explain the reasoning for your choice
Selective pressure is any agent/factor that forces the population to evolve in a particular direction to be advantageous.
