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.

When Darwin wrote on the origin of species he assumed due to the fossil record that species would not evolve quickly since that
noname [10]
If there is no reason to change (constant climate), then change won't occur. For example, a desert is basically always dry and hot with sand and few clouds. If a creature is fit for the climate, it will continue to exist until a severe enough climate change. For a real world example, in pre-industrial Europe, the birch trees were white. This permitted white moths to survive and not get eaten by the owls that hunt them, until the industrial revolution. Ash got on the birch trees, changing the color of the trees to a darker black. The white moths stood out, and therefore got eaten, permitting the black variant of the moths to thrive, where they were close to complete eradication before the revolution.

_____ have been developed to target both the positive symptoms AND the negative symptoms of schizophrenia by targeting both dopa
Radda [10]

Answer:

Antipsychotic drugs have been developed to target both the positive symptoms AND the negative symptoms of schizophrenia by targeting both dopamine and serotonin receptors in the brain.

Explanation:

Schizophrenia is a disorder that affects the ability of a person to feel things, think and behave accordingly. There are several symptoms of schizophrenia like hallucinations, social isolation, responding inappropriately to surroundings and stimulus, being emotionally vulnerable, in severe cases an individual may try to harm themselves and become extremely aggressive. Dopamine and serotonin both play vital roles in schizophrenia. It was detected that dopamine levels were low in patients suffering from schizophrenia. Thus, antipsychotic drugs were developed which affected the receptors of dopamine and serotonin, sequentially reducing symptoms and effects of schizophrenia.

Gene flow and genetic drift both affect allele frequencies in a population. A high level of gene flow into a population genetic
DaniilM [7]

A high level of gene flow into a population increases genetic diversity in a population. A high level of gene flow out of a population decreases genetic diversity in a population. Genetic drift is the change in allele frequencies due to "sampling error" factors. Typically, genetic drift has the biggest impact on small populations.

Gene flow (or gene migration) is a mechanism of evolution (change the allele frequencies) which transfers genetic variation among populations due to migration. High level of gene flow decreases the genetic differentiation between the two populations.

Genetic drift is a mechanism of evolution that acts by chance (“sampling error”) often when a population is reduced in size by a natural disaster (bottleneck effect) or when a small group leaves the main population and forms a colony (founder effect).
