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.

Why is retinoblastoma more common in individuals who have inherited the RB deletion and have the genetic predisposition for reti
kvasek [131]

Answer:

Retinoblastoma is more common in people due to the mutation of RB gene in them.

Explanation:

Retinoblastoma is a disease that affects the eyes of an individual. It is more commonly eye cancer which occurs on the retina of the eye. Retinoblastoma mainly affects younger children.

When the RB gene is mutated or it is deleted already on any one of a homologous chromosomes, then only one hit rather that two which is needed to cause the development of retinoblastoma and hence the probability is of retinoblastoma to occur is higher in the individuals who have already inherited the RB deletion and also have a genetic predisposition for the retinoblastoma.

When did the Devonian period start and end?
lyudmila [28]
The Devonian Period was part of the better known Paleozoic Period. Some scientist think it was 416 million years ago.  It was the time of the great fish. It gets its name from when red rocks from Devon, England were also found in North America. It is believed that during this period parts of North America, Europe, Russia and Greenland crashed together making a new land mass. Scientists believe this period ended about 354 million years ago when land plants began to take over and much of what was an ocean disappeared.
