Q. No.Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A):
Tribes living in high altitudes of Himalayas normally have a higher RBC count [or total haemoglobin] than people living in the plains.
Reason (R):
In low atmospheric pressure of high altitudes, the hypoxic conditions lead to an increased production of RBCs by bone marrow.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
1.
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) explains (A).
2.
(A) is true but (R) is false.
3.
(A) is false but (R) is true.
4.
Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) does not explain (A).

In an area, there are 200 carrot grass plants but only a single huge banyan tree with a large canopy.
1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect
| I. | The ecological role of the banyan tree in this community is negligible when compared to that of carrot grass. |
| II. | In this community, the percent cover or biomass is a more meaningful measure of the population size. |
1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
| Assertion (A): | The number of fish caught per trap is not a good measure of its total population density in the lake. |
| Reason (R): | For ecological investigations, it is obligatory to count every individual in a population to estimate population density. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not explain (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |

If ‘N’ is the population density at time ‘t’, then its density at time ‘t+1’ is:
| I. | Nt+1 = Nt + [(B+I) – (D+E)] |

| III. | If (B+I) is less than (D+E), the population density will increase |

The picture below shows the caterpillar of cinnabar moth. The ragwort plants on which the caterpillars feed contain alkaloid poisons. As they eat the leaves, the caterpillars store the poison and this is passed from caterpillar to pupa and finally to the imago/adult. The caterpillars have alternating orange and black bands down their bodies which are highly visible to other organisms. This type of adaptation is called as:
| 1. | Cryptic colouration | 2. | Aposematic colouration |
| 3. | Batesian mimicry | 4. | Mullerian mimicry |

Cornell studied two barnacles – Chthamalus and Balanus. Chthamalus is usually found higher on the rocks. He removed Balanus from the rocks at several sites.
The result showed that Chthamalus spread into the region formerly occupied by Balanus.
The correct conclusion will be:
The result showed that Chthamalus spread into the region formerly occupied by Balanus.
The correct conclusion will be:
| 1. | Interspecific competition makes the realized niche of Chthamalus much larger than its fundamental niche. |
| 2. | Interspecific competition makes the realized niche of Chthamalus much smaller than its fundamental niche. |
| 3. | Interspecific competition makes the realized niche of Balanus much larger than its fundamental niche. |
| 4. | Interspecific competition makes the realized niche of Balanus much smaller than its fundamental niche. |
