    According to the law of population growth if an initial population of yeast cells 10 in number was allowed to grow for 6 hours, the expected number of individuals in the final population will be about

    A)  600                                       

    B)  100 only

    C)  50 only                                

    D)  200

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     The projection of population growth in yeast in given by \[N={{N}_{0}}{{e}^{rt}}\]where e = national logarithmic base = 272 \[{{N}_{0}}=\] Initial population r = Intrinsic rate of increase T = time \[N=10\times {{2.72}^{(0.5\times 6)}}\] Hence, N = 20086, ie, after 6 hours, the population is expected to have about 200 individuals
