Answer:

TWO YEARS AGO, a group of Ugandan chimps provided a blow to the idea that humans are the only animals that truly behave selflessly to one another. These chimps showed clear signs of true selflessness, helping both human handlers and other unrelated chimps with no desire for reward.

The question of why we help each other, instead of looking out for ourselves, is one of the most compelling in modern biology. Evolutionary and game theory alike predict that selfish behaviour should be the rule with altruism the exception, and animal experiments have largely supported this idea. Nature, ‘red in tooth and claw’, is painted as a fierce competition between selfish individuals and their even more selfish genes. In this stark landscape, true altruism is apparently a rare quality and some scientists believe that it’s one

The number of bacteria in a culture is increasing according to the law of exponential growth. The initial population is 250 bact

algol [13]

Answer:

250

Explanation:

According to the question the number of bacteria population becomes double in 9 hours to that of 1 hr that means bacteria is dividing in 9 hours. Each time the bacteria divides, the numbers become double.

As we have found that bacteria is dividing in 9 hours so for the first 9 hours the number will be same as initial population i.e. 250. But just after nine hours the population will be double i.e. 500.

So, after 3 hours the population will be same as initial population, 250.
