Assertion (A): | A person goes to high altitude and experiences "Altitude Sickness" with symptoms like breathing difficulty and heart palpitations. |
Reason (R): | Due to low atmospheric pressure at high altitude, the body does not get sufficient oxygen |

4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
Assertion (A): | A population has certain attributes like birth rates and death rates while an individual organism does not. |
Reason (R): | The birth and death rates are expressed as change in numbers w.r.t. members of a population. |

4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
Assertion (A): | Ten species of invertebrates became extinct within a year when all the starfish were removed from an enclosed intertidal zone. |
Reason (R): | Starfish is an important predator which reduces intensity of competition among invertebrates |
