This seems really pity I know, but my biology course reading doesn't help answer these questions whatsoever- at least not in a way that would be easy to understand so, brainly please help.

1) Why did 40% of the human population evolve to tolerate lactose?(1 point)

A Lactose tolerance allows people to enjoy a wide variety of food, including milk, butter, ice cream, and cheese.

B People who have an intolerance experience physical pain, so a tolerance evolved to avoid that.

C Within cultures that rely on milk-producing animals, individuals who tolerated lactose had a survival advantage.

D Babies rely on milk to survive, so they need to be able to tolerate lactose.

2) What is the difference between genetic drift and natural selection?(1 point)

A Genetic drift is the change in a population’s genes over time; natural selection is the evolution of a population over time.

B Genetic drift is the frequency of genes in a population; natural selection is the frequency of adaptations in a population.

C Genetic drift is the random increase or decrease of certain genes in a population; natural selection is not random.

D Genetic drift is the selection of random traits in a population; natural selection is the selection of specific traits.

3 What is an interferon?(1 point)

A An interferon is used by a virus to stop the body from detecting it.

B An interferon disrupts DNA replication.

C An interferon reduces the efficacy of antibiotics on bacteria.

D An interferon activates the body’s immune system response to a virus.

4 Why is there such a wide variety of immune system responses between hosts when they are infected with the same virus?(1 point)

A Slight variations due to mutations in the virus trigger different responses in people.

B People that have already been infected are asymptomatic.

C Some viruses are resistant to antibiotics, so they cause a stronger immune system response.

D Each person’s immune system employs different tactics to get rid of the virus.

5 Is the following statement true? “Antigenic drift and other mutations to the DNA of viruses are always beneficial for the virus.”(1 point)

A Yes, because mutated viruses are able to infect more hosts.

B Yes, because mutated viruses have less mRNA so they can copy and replicate faster.

C No, because mutated viruses are may be less likely to replicate.

D No, because different mutations cause a variety of immune responses.

Respuesta :

Answer:

1. D- Within cultures that rely on milk-producing animals, individuals who tolerated lactose had a survival advantage.

3. A- An interferon activates the body's immune system response to a virus.

4. D- Each persons immune system employs different tactics to get rid of the virus.

5. D- yes, because mutated viruses are able to infect more hosts.

Define:

1. Genetic Drift

2. Natural Selection

  • Genetic Drift:

Genetic drift is a means of evolution. It refers to random changes in the commonnesses of alleles from generation to generation due to chance events.

Genetic drift can cause features to be dominant population. The effects of genetic drift are most pronounced in small populations.

  • Natural Selection

Natural selection is the process in nature by which organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and reproduce more than those less adapted to their environment.

Thus, these are the correct option.
