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.

Which of the following best describes why in general there are more hares in the ecosystem than foxes.
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

<u>C</u>

Explanation:

The reason why there are more hares than foxes in the ecosystem is because if only 10% of the energy gets passed on to the next trophic level, then you need to have more lower level animals available to supports the animals higher up the food chain. The fox must eat several hares to gain enough energy for growth and development.

Paul had chicken pox when he was 5 years old. nicholas received the chicken pox vaccines. which type of immunity does each man h
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Paul has natural active immunity, while Nicholas has artificial active immunity.

Explanation:

Natural active immunity is an immunity that occurs when an individual is exposed to a disease causing organism, gets infected, and also become immune to the disease due to the primary immune response. From the question, Paul has natural active immunity because he had chicken pox before, and the virus that causes chicken pox has interacted with his immune response, hence, making him to develop natural immunity to the disease.

Artificial active immunity is an immunity that an individual acquires when small amount of immunity to a disease is deliberately exposed to his body. Artificial active immunity is usually produced in the form of vaccinations. From the question, Nicholas has artificial active immunity because chicken pox vaccines were intentionally introduced to his body.

Two bacterial strains have the same genes for metabolizing carbohydrates, but one is wild-type for a regulatory inducer while th
klemol [59]

Answer:

b. The two bacterial strains have different phenotypes.

Explanation:

In genetics, the trait that is expressed is often referred to as the dominant trait and it can also be expresssed phenotypically.

Since one of the bacteria produces the inducer, it therefore means that bacteria has the dominant strain for the regulatory inducer while the other bacteria might have the strain but since it is not expressed phenotypically, it is as a result not dominant.

Phenotype refers to the physical appearance of an organism as a result of the interaction of its genes with the environment. Examples of phenotypic expresssions are hair colour, skin colour, height, etc.
