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

Theory of pangenesis was given by:

1. Darwin

2. Lamarck

3. Hugo de Vries

4. Oparin

Which of the following is not true for a species?

1. Members of a species interbreed

2. Variations occur among members of species

3. Each species is reproductively isolated from every other species

4. Gene flow does not occur between the populations of a species

The diversity in the type of beaks of finches adapted to different feeding habits on the Galapagos islands, as observed by Darwin, provides evidence for:

1. origin of species by natural selection

2. intraspecific variations

3. intraspecific competition

4. interspecific competition
