Answer:

Gradually, as generations of elephants continued to selectively use and develop their trunks.

Explanation:

Jean-Baptiste Lamarck was  famous French Naturalist. He was a soldier, a biologist and an academic. He gave an early theory of evolution known as the theory of Lamarckism.

It was Lamarck who first believed that elephants earlier had small trunks. But eventual when there was scarcity of food and water, the elephants stretched out its trunk to reached out for food such as trees and also water. And as a result their offspring inherited long and powerful trunk.

In his theory of Lamarckism, he believed that the species passes on its traits to the offspring which they acquired through their use in their lifetime. In this case, the elephants might have used their trunks in such a way that they became long and strong over time and they passed tis trait to their babies.

We can use the gdp deflator to calculate the inflation rate in the economy. True or False
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

<em>True</em>

Explanation:

The GDP deflator is used to measure the changes in prices of goods and services produced in an economy within a given year range. It is the measure of inflation.

Similarly, the Inflation rate is the rate at which the prices of goods and services in an economy increases over the years.

The difference of the GDP deflators from the years in question divided by the initial year GDP deflator gives the inflation rate (this can be multiplied by 100 to get the percentage inflation rate).

<em>Inflation rate</em> =  \frac{GDPD1-GDPD2}{GDP1} \\  * 100%

where GDPD1 is GDP deflator for the first year;

           GDPD2 is GDP deflator for the second year.
