There are a very few amount of advantages of you having lactose intolerance but one is you have digestive problems it helps a little but the disadvatage is dosen't give all the nutrients refular milk gives you!

I am going to assume you meant lactose intolerance,, so i have written my answer based upon those who are lactose intolerant:
an evolutionary advantage is any trait that can increase the fitness of one person/group of people over another. this means that if someone has a trait that allows them to better obtain food or resources,, they would have an evolutionary advantage to better compete against another species or group of people. being lactose intolerant can allow you a better evolutionary advantage over those who dont in a couple ways. first off,, these people are more likely to live and thrive if dairy goes away. if dairy one day disappears,, most people who are not lactose intolerant will not know how to get those nutrients that the body needs that they had previously gotten from milk. these people would eventually die without these nutrients,, while those who are intolerant to lactose would continue to thrive because they have lived without these things their whole life and now how to get their needed nutrients.  along with that,, people with a lactose intolerance are better able to starve off predators if they needed to,, because all they would have to do is kill all the animals that produce dairy. those without a lactose intolerance would have to get rid of a lot more things in order to starve off those with a lactose intolerance.

Meiosis and mitosis are both forms of cell division. However, the outcomes of these processes differ. Consider a diploid organis
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Meiosis produces four genetically different haploid cells.

Gametic chromosomes have a different combination of alleles than parental chromosomes as a result of independent assortment

Explanation:

Meiosis and Mitosis are two types of cell division that occurs in living organisms. However, Mitosis produces daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell while meiosis produces daughter cells that are genetically different from the parent cell. This accounts for the reason meiosis leads to genetic variation.

The production of genetically different cells by meiosis is as a result of the process of the random orientation of chromosomes during metaphase I of meiosis I. This process is called INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT. However, crossing over occurs during prophase I of meiosis between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes.

Explain how convergent evolution leads to analogous structures.
musickatia [10]
<span>here you go Convergent evolution is the independent evolution of similar features in species of different lineages. Convergent evolution creates analogous structures that have similar form or function but were not present in the last common ancestor of those groups. The cladistic term for the same phenomenon is homoplasy.</span>

Of the following experimental results, which is the best evidence that photosynthesis is more efficient at certain wavelengths o
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C

Explanation:

The plant absorbs the sunlight to perform photosynthesis which helps produce the sugar molecule used by the plants.

The plants absorb maximum sunlight at two wavelengths that are red and blue wavelength by chlorophyll and other pigments. The efficiency of photosynthesis is also measured maximum at these two active wavelengths called action spectrum.

In the given question, since the efficiency of photosynthesis has been discussed which could be measured with the production of oxygen and consumption of carbon dioxide. The experiment performed by the Engelmann showed that aerobic bacteria got concentrated in the blue and red wavelengths as the output of the photosynthesis were observed maximum.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.
