I want to know that say if a mosquito species A took more time in becoming resistant to a mosquito repellant (due to genetic mutation) than a mosquito species B in an environment of a particular mosquito repellant (say Deet). Can we say that the species A has a greater tendency to become resistant to mosquito repelllants or the tendency to become resistant depends largely on what type of mosquito repellant we have used?
Please be specific.Thanks
