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

Cellulose belongs to carbohydrates.
Cellulose is classified as a carbohydrate, a polysaccharide, as they are formed of the glucose monomers chain. It is the prime component in the walls of the cells of plants, assisting the plants to remain upright and stiff. Humans cannot digest cellulose due to the absence of cellulase, however, it is essential in the diet as fiber.
However, the animals like sheep, cows, and horses can digest cellulose that is why they can acquire nutrients and energy they require from the grass.
