Answer:

Sudan reagent is used for identification of fats and lipids in the food, feacal and other biological fluids. It gives red color in the presence of lipids and fats. The amount of lipid in the skimmed milk is negliable or very low. Therefore, the Sudan test is negative in skimmed milk.

Ans.

Sudan test is a method to detect presence of lipoproteins, lipids, and triglycerides in samples. The presence of lipids is detectable by change in color of Sudan dye.

Non-fat or skim milk contains a small of amount of lipids, so the result should be positive when Sudan test is performed with skim milk.

Although, skim milk contains very little concentration of lipids, due to which the change is color during test is undetectable. Thus, skim milk gives negative results with Sudan test.

An elephant has a long, powerful trunk. According to the ideas of Lamarck, how did the trait of long, powerful trunks develop in
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Gradually, as generations of elephants continued to selectively use and develop their trunks.

Explanation:

Jean-Baptiste Lamarck was  famous French Naturalist. He was a soldier, a biologist and an academic. He gave an early theory of evolution known as the theory of Lamarckism.

It was Lamarck who first believed that elephants earlier had small trunks. But eventual when there was scarcity of food and water, the elephants stretched out its trunk to reached out for food such as trees and also water. And as a result their offspring inherited long and powerful trunk.

In his theory of Lamarckism, he believed that the species passes on its traits to the offspring which they acquired through their use in their lifetime. In this case, the elephants might have used their trunks in such a way that they became long and strong over time and they passed tis trait to their babies.

You cross purple-flowered and white-flowered pea plants, and all offspring are purple. how come? select one:
Vaselesa [24]
To solve this problem on genetic dominance, we will need a punnet square.

Let's let P represent purple-flowered and p represent white-flowered.

We have one purple flowered plant with the alleles PP, and we have one white flowered plant with the alleles pp. Using a punnet square, we can determine the alleles of the offspring.

       <u>P</u>     <u>P</u>
p|    Pp   Pp

p |   Pp   Pp

As we can tell from our punnet square, all of our offspring will have purple flowers. This is because the purple-flower allele is dominant and the white-flowered allele is recessive.

Since each flower has a dominant and recessive allele, they are heterozygous.

Therefore, the solution to this problem is D.
