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

The answer is A; all of the above
Answer:
cumulative dilution = 0.000001
Explanation:
A serial dilution is a stepwise kind of dilution repeated a certain number of times, in which the concentration reduces exponentially each time.
The cumulative dilution is the final dilution gotten depending on the number of times dilution has been done and the dilution factor. The formula is given as:
Cumulative dilution = (F)ⁿ
where:
F = dilution factor = 0.1
n = number of serial dilutions = 6
∴ cumulative dilution = (0.1)⁶ = 0.000001
c proteins .. most used cuz it provides energy and builds muscle
Explanation:
Central dogma represents the pathway in which the information encoded in the DNA flows into proteins.
The DNA is made up of the nucleotide monomers in which the nitrogenous bases are present as one of the constituents. These bases are present in the sequence are transcribed into the RNA molecule through the process of transcription.
The nitrogenous sequences in this RNA molecule are then translated into the proteins through the process of translation during which the sequence is read in pairs of three called "codons". A specific amino acid is attached to the peptide when the codons are read by the translation machinery and a protein is formed.
These proteins could perform various roles in organisms from physical to biochemical and thus the physical traits are controlled by the DNA.
