Maltose is produced instantly when amylase reacts with starch.

Starch is a polysaccharide molecule made of glucose units. The chemical formula of the starch is written as (C₆H₁₀O₅)ₙ. The starch consists of amylose and amylopectin. The glucose units in this starch are linked with the help of two kinds of bonds α 1,4 glycosidic linkages and α 1,6 glycosidic linkages.

This starch molecule is first hydrolyzed into shorter polysaccharides, dextrins, and maltose with a help of an enzyme called amylase. The maltose can be further hydrolyzed into glucose units with the help of the maltase enzyme.

Therefore, the blank can be filled with maltose.

Over many generations darker for color becomes more common in a population of squirrels living in a shady area

PIT_PIT [208]

The answer is letter b. adaptation. Adaptation occurs when living organisms adapt to their surroundings or environment over a long period of time. In this case, Dark Furred Squirrels were abundant, since squirrels adapted to the dark shady area they have lived and adapted into a dark furred one, which allowed it to be more common due to adaptation.
