The process of individuals of the same species that have come into the habitat from elsewhere during the time period under consideration is referred as:
1. Association
2. Emigration
3. Competition
4. Immigration
Which of the following is the correct equation of exponential growth?
1. \(N_t = N_0 ~e^{rnt}\)
2. \(N_t = N_0 ~e^{rpt}\)
3. \(N_t = N_0 ~e^{rst}\)
4. \(N_t = N_0 ~e^{rt}\)
A population with finite resources shows a logistic growth curve where the correct sequence of events will be:
| 1. | Stationary phase → Acceleration phase → Lag phase → Asymptote |
| 2. | Acceleration phase → Deceleration → Asymptote |
| 3. | Acceleration phase → Leg phase → Stationary phase |
| 4. | Lag phase → Acceleration phase → Deceleration → Asymptote |
Which of the following best describes resource partitioning?
| 1. | competitive exclusion that results in the success of the superior species |
| 2. | slight variations in niche that allow similar species to coexist |
| 3. | two species that can coevolve to share identical niches |
| 4. | differential resource utilization that results in a decrease in community species diversity |
| Assertion (A): | All the mammals are endotherm. |
| Reason (R): | Mammals possess four chambered heart and respire through lungs |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is true but (R) is false. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
