Genetic Drift occurs due to :
1. Natural selection
2. Sudden population migration
3. Continuous gene migration
4. Mutation
Select the correct match regarding adaptive radiation of Australian marsupials corresponding to placental mammals

2. Tasmanian Wolf - Bobcat
3. Marsupial mouse- Mole
4. Spotted Cuscus - Lemur
Name | Age | Character | |
1. | Dryopithecus | 15 mya | They were hairy and walked like gorillas and chimpanzees |
2. | Australopithecus | 2 mya | They hunted with stone weapons but essentially ate fruit. |
3. | Homo erectus | 1.5 mya | Large brain around 900 cc, probably ate meat. |
4. | Neanderthal man | 100000-40,000 years back | brain size of 1400 cc lived in east African grassland. |
1. | Flippers of penguins and Dolphins | Analogous Organ |
2. | Koala and Bandicoot | Adaptive Radiation |
3. | Lemur and spotted cuscus | Convergent Evolution |
4. | Sweet potato and ptato | Divergent Evolution |
1. | Sympatric |
2. | Undergoing disruptive selection |
3. | Allopatric |
4. | Not geographically separated |
1. | Saltatory and stochastic |
2. | Gradual and determined |
3. | Saltatory and punctuated |
4. | Gradual and stochastic |
Assertion(A): | Analogous structures are a result of convergent evolution |
Reason(R): | More than one adaptive radiation appeared to have occurred in an isolated geographical area, is the convergent evolution |
1. | Both (A) & (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) |
2. | Both (A) & (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 statements |
1. | If operates in large populations |
2. | If always eliminates favourable allele from a population. |
3. | If work in opposite to natural selection |
4. | If can not fix non-adaptive trait in a population |
Assertion(A): | Ginkgo biloba is living fossil. |
Reason(R): | Organism which have persisted and remain unchanged for the past several million years while their relatives disappeared. |
1. | Both (A) & (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) |
2. | Both (A) & (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 |
