This seems really pity I know, but my biology course reading doesn't help answer these questions whatsoever- at least not in a w

ay 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.

Some bacteria live in the roots of plants like soybeans and peas.
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Nitrogen is the most commonly limiting nutrient in plants. Legumes use nitrogen fixing bacteria, specifically symbiotic rhizobia bacteria, within their root nodules to counter the limitation. Rhizobia bacteria convert nitrogen gas (N2) to ammonia (NH3) in a process called nitrogen fixation.

Which of the following would protect Earth's biodiversity? View Available Hint(s) Which of the following would protect Earth's b
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

All of the listed responses are correct.

Explanation:

Ecotourism is the approach to allow humans to visit the natural habitats of flora and fauna without harming these natural resources in one or other ways. Some places/countries are specifically rich in natural habitats of species diversity and endemism. These habitats are mostly being destroyed by human activities.

These natural habitats of high endemism and habitat destruction are called biodiversity hotspots. These regions present in various countries should be protected to slow down the current loss of biodiversity. Non-native species mostly harm the native species. In absence of any competitors or natural predators, these non-native species flourish well in new habitats and deprive the native ones of resources.

Why is it easier to color dead microorganisms than living microorganisms when staining?
Sladkaya [172]
There is confusion over the definition of the term “viability state(s)” of microorganisms. “Viability staining” or “vital staining techniques” are used to distinguish live from dead bacteria. These stainings, first established on planctonic bacteria, may have serious shortcomings when applied to multispecies biofilms. Results of staining techniques should be compared with appropriate microbiological data.
