Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Adepcore change is the modified condition of decomposition in the dead body.
Statement II: There is hydrolysis and hydrogenation of fatty acid in the presence of water in adepcore change.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
• B. Both Statement I and Statement II are false
• C. Statement I is true but Statement II is false
• D. Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Hint:

Adipocere formation occurs in bodies submerged in water or in humid conditions, leading to the preservation of fatty tissue.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

- Statement I: Adepcore change refers to the decomposition of body fat into a waxy substance after death, known as adipocere. This statement is true.
- Statement II: The process of adipocere formation involves hydrolysis and hydrogenation of fatty acids in the presence of water, which leads to the formation of a waxy substance. This statement is also true. Therefore, the correct option is (1), where both Statement I and Statement II are true.
