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.

A computer simulation showing models of planes crashing is a good way to study the effects of plane safety.why?
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

Flight simulators are widely used for pilot training in the aviation industry, military pilot training, simulation of disasters or failures in flight, and aircraft development.

These simulations are used for pilot training, whose essential function is to train the crew in normal, abnormal and emergency procedures, before and during flight, practicing innumerable situations, such as: failures in electronic systems, loss of power, tailwinds and many others, which cannot be done safely with an aircraft in real situations. Explains to the new pilots the movements and attitudes of the ships, becoming a fundamental part of the training, saving lives and large economic losses.

These simulations allow knowing the causes of each plane crash in order to modify the operating procedures and training, so that its repetition is avoided. Flight safety investigations are complex and analyze numerous factors, and rather than investigating the persons responsible, it tries to find out the causes of the incident, considering human factors and technical issues.
