High altitude acclimatization in humans include all the following except:
| 1. | Increased RBC production |
| 2. | Increased breathing rate |
| 3. | Increased heart rate |
| 4. | Increased binding affinity of haemoglobin |
For the purpose of ecological studies, the term population is applicable to individuals reproducing:
| 1. | Asexually | 2. | Sexually |
| 3. | Both 1 and 2 | 4. | Neither 1 nor 2 |
Unlike a population, an individual has:
| 1. | Birth and death | 2. | Birth rate |
| 3. | Death rate | 4. | Sex ratio |
In a pond, there were 20 lotus plants last year. If through reproduction 4 new lotus plants are added, the number of offspring per lotus per year would be:
| 1. | 0.2 | 2. | 0.4 |
| 3. | 2.0 | 4. | 4.0 |
The given age pyramid represents a:
| 1. | Fast expanding population | 2. | Slowly expanding population |
| 3. | Stable population | 4. | Declining population |
The tiger census in our national parks and tiger reserves is often based on:
| 1. | Pug marks | 2. | Cub count |
| 3. | Area allocation | 4. | Collar position |

| 1. | Birth rate | 2. | Death rate |
| 3. | Immigration | 4. | Emigration |
All the following are correct about the exponential growth of population except:
| 1. | It is represented by the equation dt/dN = rN |
| 2. | Resources in the habitat are unlimited |
| 3. | The rate of natural increase is represented by “r” |
| 4. | In 1981, the ‘r’ value for human population in India was 0.0205 |
When population density is plotted against time, the exponential growth curve is:
| 1. | S shaped | 2. | Straight line |
| 3. | J shaped | 4. | Hyperbola |
