What is natural selection?
Natural selection is when nature selects for or against traits to survive in a population. Individuals who have the favorable traits will survive and reproduce while the individuals who do not have these traits will NOT survive or reproduce. The population will then change over time.
Natural selection is when individuals choose their own traits to survive in a population, regardless of environmental factors.
Natural selection is when all individuals in a population survive and reproduce equally, regardless of their traits.
Natural selection is when traits are randomly assigned to individuals without any impact on survival or reproduction.

How does the carbohydrate lactose interact with the protein lactase?
Lactose is a sugar found in milk which is broken down by the enzyme lactase. Lactase attaches to the lactose substrate and speeds up the chemical reaction to help break down lactose. If lactase is not present in the body, people have a hard time digesting lactose because it sits too long in the body.
Lactose is a protein that binds to lactase and prevents it from functioning.
Lactase is a sugar that is broken down by lactose in the digestive system.
Lactose and lactase do not interact; they are found in different parts of the body.
How do nucleic acids and proteins depend on each other?
Nucleic acids are the instructions for making proteins. DNA holds the instructions while RNA helps assemble the proteins. Without the DNA and RNA proteins could not be made. Enzymes (which are proteins) help these processes.
Proteins are the instructions for making nucleic acids. DNA and RNA are assembled by proteins only.
