If in a pond there were 20 lotus plants last year and through reproduction 8 new plants are added, taking the current population to 28, the birth rate would be:
- A 0.4 offspring per lotus per year
- B 0.8 offspring per lotus per year
- C 0.5 offspring per lotus per year
- D 0.2 offspring per lotus per year
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) 0.4 offspring per lotus per year
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Birth rate \( = \frac{\text{New plants}}{\text{Initial plants}} \) Birth rate \( = \frac{8}{20} \) Birth rate \( = 0.4 \) offspring per lotus per year

Theory of Evolution
The evolution of life is a gradual process through which simple organisms are transformed into complex life forms over billions of years. It involves genetic changes, adaptation to the environment, and the emergence of diversity in species. Fossil records provide evidence of extinct life forms and transitional stages. Evolution is influenced by factors such as mutation, genetic recombination, and environmental pressure, shaping the biodiversity we see today. Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace were pioneering naturalists who developed the theory of evolution by natural selection.
