When a petal is plucked from a flower, it will not remain alive for very long. It will soon start to decompose.
Explanation:
To understand this, we need to go back to the act of plucking the flower as such from the plant. The moment a flower is plucked from a plant, it stops receiving any further nutrition from the plant. Whatever nutrients were present in the flower at the time of plucking it will continue to keep it alive and once those nutrients are used up, the flower will start to decompose.
In this case, since the petal is plucked from a flower which already was surviving on limited nutrients, it will decompose very quickly.
According to the characteristics of life, it cannot be considered dead at the time it's plucked. It <u>continues to live, but for a very brief time</u>.

Answer: C
Explanation: The process that occurred in the lake is natural selection. In the presence of an external environmental influence such as pollution, only the trouts that were fit to survive or in other words those that have the alleles that help in adapting to the new conditions live and increased in numbers. In such a case, one can say the fittest of the organisms survived and the corresponding allelic frequency in that population increased over time. The organisms carrying the other alleles died due to pollution and hence the overall frequency of alleles change.
