Statement I: | Gause's competitive exclusion principle states that two closely related species competing for different resources cannot exist indefinitely. |
Statement II: | According to Gause's principle, during competition, the inferior will be eliminated. This may be true if resources are limiting. |
1. | Both Statement I and Statement II are False. |
2. | Statement I is True but Statement II is False. |
3. | Statement I is False but Statement II is True. |
4. | Both Statement I and Statement II are True. |
Statement I: | When the fitness of one species is significantly lower in the presence of another species, the process is defined as competition. |
Statement II: | When fungi remain in association with living plants or animals, they are called saprophytes. |
A. | Lag phase, followed by phases of acceleration and deceleration and finally an asymptote. |
B. | The ability to realise its innate potential to grow in number and reach enormous densities in short time. |
C. | Exponential growth |
D. | Logistic growth |
Assertion (A): | The interaction, in which one species benefits and the other is neither harmed nor benefitted, is known as commensalism. |
Reason (R): | Egrets always forage close to where the cattles are grazing, otherwise it is difficult for the egrets to find the insect and catch. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
Assertion (A): | Connell's elegant field experiment showed that on the rocky sea, the larger and competitively superior barnacles dominate the intertidal area and exclude the smaller barnacles from that area. |
Reason (R): | Generally, herbivores and plants appear to be more adversely affected by competition than carnivores. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A) |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |

1. | deaths exceeds number of births and also number of emigrants equals number of immigrants |
2. | births plus number of immigrants equal number of deaths plus number of emigrants |
3. | birth plus number of emigrants is more than the number of deaths plus number of immigrants |
4. | birth plus number of immigrants is more than the sum of number of deaths and number of emigrants |
