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

Age of fishes is also known as:

1. Permian Era

2. Silurian Era

3. Devonian Era

4. Ordovician Era

Variations caused by mutation, as proposed by Hugo de Vries, are:
1. small and directionless
2. random and directional
3. random and directionless
4. small and directional

A gene locus has two alleles A, a. If the frequency of dominant allele A is 0.4, then what will be the frequency of homozygous dominant, heterozygous and homozygous recessive individuals in the population?

In a species, the weight of a newborn ranges from 2 to 5 kg. 97% of the newborns with an average weight between 3 to 3.3 kg survive whereas 99% of the infants born with weights from 2 to 2.5 kg or 4.5 kg to 5 kg die. Which type of selection process is taking place?
1. Cyclical selection
2. Directional selection
3. Stabilizing selection
4. Disruptive selection

Select the correct option.

For the stability of the organic compounds, Oparin opined that probably:
1. UV radiation never reached the surface of the primeval Earth

2. the primitive Earth was in a molten state

3. the primitive Earth atmosphere was reducing rather than oxidizing

4. plenty of energy sources were available for chemical reactions to occur
