Explanation:
Natural selection is the mechanism by which the species evolve. The species evolve under the influence of the natural pressure due to which the species try to hit and trial method of the adaptive trait. The trait which increases the fitness of a species is passed on to the next generation and the trait becomes established in a population.
This can be observed in the following scenario
1. The hawks predate on the rabbit species with white fur easily as they can be seen from the sky easily.
2. This acts as a pressure on the white rabbits as a result of which the white rabbits to hide themselves mutate and change the colour of the fur from white to brown or tan.
3. The founder effect will eliminate the white fur population from the whole population
4. The population with brown fur will increase with time and the trait will become a permanent trait.
Answer and Explanation:
To test the presence of glucose, we can perform <u>Benedict's test.</u> This test detects the presence of reducing sugars (e.g. glucose) by adding <u>Benedict's reagent.</u> This reagent contains sodium carbonate, sodium citrate and copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate. When the mixture is heated, reduce cupric compounds (Cu2+) are formed which results in the change in color from clear blue to brick-red, yellow or green.
To test the presence of glucose in the food sample, we will dissolve a small volume of food sample in water and put it in the test tubes, in triplicates. Then we will add 3 mL of Benedict's reagent. Also, we will run positive and negative controls. For positive controls, we will add glucose directly and for negative, we will not add any glucose or other reducing sugars (also in triplicates each). Then we will heat the test tubes in water water for 5-10 minutes. In the positive control, the color would change to green, yellow or brick red; but in negative control, it will stay blue (see figure attached for explanation). For the food sample, if the glucose or reducing sugars would be present, the color will change. In case of low sugar, it will be green, but increasing sugar content would change the color to yellow/orange and red. Because the experiment will be conducted in triplicates, we would be also able to verify if the results were consistent and there was no human or technical error.
