Answer:

There are some  pros and cons of having the digestion be slower and over distance than quicker and over a shorter distance with slightly less absorption:

<u>Pros:</u>

  • Slower digestion leads to better hydration.
  • More efficient metabolization of the food as nutrients are absorbed properly while in fast digestion the absorption of nutrients is less.
  • Slower digestion and over a distance helps to maintain weight and prevent diseases.
  • Slower digestion provide greater satisfaction with the meals

<u>Cons:</u>

  • Slow digestion can lead to abdominal bloating.
  • Sometimes a person may feel lack energy and unintentionally gain weight.
  • slow digestion can negatively impact bowel movement.
  • Slow digestion can cause gastroparesis.

Hence, slower digestion has both pros and cons.

In which of the following situations is evolution by natural selection most likely to occur?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

b.

Explanation:

Natural Selection refers to the survivability of organisms based on different traits or genes that they have which then get passed on to their offspring. Based on this information we can say that a population of mountain gorillas in which individuals with genes for long hair survive the cold better is the situation in which natural selection is most likely to occur. This is because longer hair in this scenario is a gene that drastically affects the chance of survival for the gorillas and will most likely be passed on to their offspring.
