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:
When ATP is broken down to ADP
Explanation:
Energy is released from a molecule of ATP when the substance is broken down to ADP
ATP is the energy currency of a cell. It is called Adenosine Triphosphate
When a phosphate is removed, it become ADP - Adenosine Disphosphate.
In like manner, the breaking down releases inherent chemical energy and converts it to other forms of energy.
This is how the body system derives sufficient amount of energy for every of its activities.
When an organism undergoes cellular respiration, this is the process that is in play to release energy needed for the body to function

Answer:
Attached R side groups
Explanation:
The proteins are one of the important biomolecules which are directly coded by the genetic material of an organism.
The proteins are composed of the amino acids which possess, an amine group, a carboxylic group and an attached side group called the R group.
It is the R group of an amino acid which determines whether the amino acid will a polar or a non-polar amino acid molecule thus it determines the properties of the amino acid in terms of chemical properties. The R side group are involved in the formation of bonds with the substrate of the environment and the tertiary structure of the proteins.
Thus, the presence of different R group is the key difference in 20 amino acids.
