The correct option is C.
Osmosis is defined as the movement of water molecules through semi permeable membrane from the region of lower solute concentration to the region of higher solute concentration. That means that, during the process of osmosis, water molecules move out of a substance that is low in salt and enter into another substance that has a higher concentration of salts. Movement of water out of a cell will cause the cell to shrink.<span />

Nataliya [291]

The chronological order of the response brought about by the nervous system is as follows.


1. Sensory receptors in the arteries detect low oxygen levels.

2. Sensory neurons generate an impulse.

3. The central nervous system relays an impulse to certain brain regions.

4. The brain sends signals through motor neurons.

5. Isabel's breathing rate increases.


The response to a stimulus is called a reflex action and the pathway traveled by the reflex action is called the reflex arch. A reflex action is an automatic involuntary response to a stimulus which minimizes any damage to the body. During conditions of low levels of oxygen in the body, the receptors detect the stimulus of low oxygen levels which could pose a threat to the individual and sensory neurons generate an impulse. It reaches the central nervous system and then the brain. In turn, brain sends signals through the motor neurons that carry a message and help in increasing the breathing rate of Isabel.

Rufina [12.5K]

N an experiment, suppose that the wings of fruit flies were clipped short for fifty generations. The fifty-first generation emerged with normal-length wings. This observation would tend to disprove the idea that evolution is based on

a. inheritance of natural variations

b. inheritance of acquired characteristics

c. natural selection

d. survival of the fittest

Inheritance of acquired characteristics. Thus, option "B" is correct.

<h3 /><h3>What is inheritance of acquired characteristics?</h3>

For fifty generations wings of fruit flies were clipped. Hence they acquired this trait in their lifetime and not genetically. If acquired characteristics were capable of passing on to next generation, 50 generations would have been enough to inculcate this clipped wing trait in fruit flies. Despite it, the fifty-first generation did not have clipped wings.

Hence evolution can not occur without genetic variation. A character simply acquired in a lifetime does not create a difference in germ cells and hence is not enough to be passed on to next generation or cause evolution
