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

#SPJ1
Isotonic solution nothing happens to the cell it exists as it is.....in a hypotonic solution the cell will shrivel up and in hypertonic solution it will swell to the point of rupturing (aka cytolyse)
<h2><u>
Answer:</u></h2>
Anammox (anaerobic ammonium oxidation), which is a reaction that oxidises ammonium to di-nitrogen gas using nitrite as the electron acceptor under anoxic conditions, was an important discovery in the nitrogen cycle.
C they are always found in homologous pairs
<h2>Functions of elbow joint </h2>
Explanation:
- The elbow joint should be rotated laterally.
- This is because the elbow is basically a pivoted joint, however, it has the extraordinary capacity to turn the distal arm in pronation and supination
- These exceptional movements, alongside a wide scope of dynamic exertional powers, incline the elbow and its structures to critical wounds, especially with tedious movements
- Understanding the life systems and the physical powers of development will help in diagnosis
- Hence, the right answer is "elbow joint should be rotated laterally on an (AP), when the radial head is slightly superimposed over the proximal ulna on the first effort"
