Evolution

Mutations such as polyploidy and crossing over provide the genetic basis for evolution.

Explanation;

Evolution is the change in the characteristics or traits of a species over several generations and relies on the process of natural selection.

It occurs when some individuals or some alleles (alternative form of gene) reproduce themselves more than others,increasing their prevalence in subsequent generation.

Polypoidy and crossover brings about mutations that cause changes in characteristics and traits over time resulting to evolution.

answer: the correct option is d. enzyme

lactase and carbonic anhydrase are the examples of enzymes.

lactase is an enzyme, which is present in the small intestine of mammals. it in the digestion of the disaccharide, lactose ( milk sugar) by converting it into two monosachharide, which are glucose and galactose.

carbonic anhydrase is present in the red blood cells. this enzyme plays significant role in the transport of co₂. it in the conversion of co₂ and h₂o into carbonic acid, which is then dissociated into bicarbonate ions and hydrogen ions.
