Answer
Python lists are containers that can store an ordered list of values of same or different data types together in a single variable. The fact that elements of a list need not be homogeneous makes them highly adaptable and powerful data structure in Python. Lists provide fast access to its elements using index numbers. Python lists are mutable which makes them memory efficient. They serve as the basic building blocks for programs that process large amounts of data.
