ReNEET 2026 · Biology · Q161Organisms and PopulationsIn our bank: Strong match · 86%

Consider a population of 10 million cells with a per-capita birth rate of 0.002 (per unit time) and a per-capita death rate of 0.002 (per unit time). The expected number of cells after 10 generations is ______.

  1. A.1 million
  2. B.5 million
  3. C.10 million
  4. D.100 million

Correct Answer

(C) 10 million

Solution & Explanation

The intrinsic rate of natural increase r=(b-d)=0.002-0.002=0. The growth equation (dN)/(dt)=rN=0, so the population size does not change. Even after 10 generations it remains 10 million.
