Peripatus is a connecting link between:

1. Ctenophora and Plantyhelminthes

2. Mollusca and Echinodermata

3. Annelida and Arthropoda

4. Coelenterata and Poriphera

One of the important consequences of geographical isolation is:

1. no change in the isolated fauna

2. preventing speciation

3. speciation through reproductive isolation

4. random creation of new species

The finches of the Galapagos islands provide evidence in favour of:

1. special creation

2. evolution due to mutation

3. retrogressive evolution

4. biogeographical evolution

1. Cro-magnon 

2. Neanderthal

3. Pre-neaderthal

4. None of these

Darwin’s finches represent:

1. Morphological variations

2. Geographical isolations

3. Climate variations

4. Reproductive isolation

Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is known to be affected by gene flow, genetic drift, mutation, genetic recombination and:

1. evolution

2. limiting factors

3. saltation

4. natural selection 

Which one of the following in birds indicates their reptilian ancestry?
 

Darwinism explains all the following except:

1. Within each species, there is variation

2. Organisms tend to produce more offspring than can survive

3. Offspring with better traits that overcome competition are best suited for the environment

4. Variations are inherited from parents to offspring through genes
