Q. No.In the logistic growth equation given below, the carrying capacity is represented by:
\(\frac{\mathrm{dN}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\mathrm{rN}\left(\frac{\mathrm{K}-\mathrm{N}}{\mathrm{K}}\right)\)
1.
N
2.
r
3.
K
4.
K – N / K
\(\frac{\mathrm{dN}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\mathrm{rN}\left(\frac{\mathrm{K}-\mathrm{N}}{\mathrm{K}}\right)\)
Darwinian fitness is represented by:
| 1. | Low r value | 2. | High r value |
| 3. | High K value | 4. | Low K value |
Which of the following organisms does not breed only once in their life time?
| 1. | Pacific salmon | 2. | Marsupial mice |
| 3. | Birds | 4. | Bamboo |
As a part of their reproductive strategy, pelagic fishes:
| 1. | Produce a large number of small-sized offspring |
| 2. | Produce a small number of small-sized offspring |
| 3. | Produce a large number of large-sized offspring |
| 4. | Produce a small number of large-sized offspring |
A population interaction that is detrimental to both species would be:
| 1. | Mutualism | 2. | Competition |
| 3. | Predation | 4. | Amensalism |
A population interaction where one species is harmed whereas the other is unaffected is called as:
| 1. | Mutualism | 2. | Competition |
| 3. | Predation | 4. | Amensalism |
Identify the incorrectly matched pair:
|
Population interaction |
Species A |
Species B |
|
|
1. |
Mutualism |

|
2. |
Predation |
+ |
- |
|
3. |
Parasitism |
- |

|
4. |
Commensalism |
+ |
0 |
In broad ecological context, all the following would be considered examples of predation except:
1. Tiger eating deer
2. Sparrow eating seed
3. Cow eating herbs
4. Earthworm feeding on detritus
Predators do not:
| 1. | act as ‘conduits’ for energy transfer across trophic levels |
| 2. | keep prey populations under control |
| 3. | over-exploit their prey |
| 4. | help in maintaining species diversity in a community |
When certain exotic species are introduced into a geographical area, they become invasive mainly because:
| 1. | The invaded land has unlimited resources for the introduced species |
| 2. | The invaded land does not have its natural predator |
| 3. | The population of the introduced species in the invaded land is very low |
| 4. | Introduced species do not face any competition in the introduced land |
