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

Answer:
If the sequence of one strand on DNA is CTA GCT CCA, the
complementary strand is GAT CGA GGT.
Explanation:
The DNA molecule has four nitrogenous bases in its structure, two purines —adenine and guanine— and two pyrimidines, cytosine and thymine.
The two DNA strands are linked by hydrogen bonds established between their complementary nitrogenous bases, where a purine is complemented by a pyrimidine.
In the case of DNA, adenine is complemented by thymine and cytosine is complemented by guanine:
<em>A=T</em>
<em>C≡G</em>
In the sequence belonging to a DNA strand CTA GCT CCA, the strand that is complementary would be GAT CGA GGT.
