Q. No.Which of the following links ecology to population genetics and evolution?
| 1. | Organismic ecology | 2. | Population ecology |
| 3. | Ecosystem ecology | 4. | Biome ecology |
| Assertion (A): | Age-structure pyramids for the population of a country not only predict a population’s growth trends but can also illuminate social conditions. |
| Reason (R): | These pyramids show the distribution of various age groups in a population, typically that of a country or region of the world. |
| 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. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
- If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion
- If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion
- If the assertion is true but the reason is false
- If both the assertion and reason are false

Identify the correct statement:
| 1. | Eutrophic lakes contain fewer nutrients than oligotrophic lakes. |
| 2. | Xerarch succession is a primary succession that occurs in water bodies. |
| 3. | Most ecologists believe that most communities achieve stable, unchanging climax vegetation. |
| 4. | A mature ecosystem has greater species richness, greater biomass, and less net productivity than a younger stage of succession. |
A feature of ‘r’ strategists would be:
| 1. | few offspring | 2. | little parental care |
| 3. | sigmoid growth curves | 4. | a longer generation time |
| Assertion (A): | Ecologically similar species can coexist in a community if one or more significant differences in their niches arise through time. |
| Reason (R): | Two species cannot coexist permanently in a community if their niches are identical. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
